I use my card mainly for music storage. I have a lot of albums on the 16 GB card in my Nokia 520 right now, and I've only used 2 GB! I don't listen to audiobooks, read e-books, or need to store documents on the phone.

I'm just curious what types of files other people store on their cards. Perhaps I'm overlooking some uses.
On my Nook HD+'s I rooted, I use the microSD card for storing backups, both of apps+data (using Titanium Backup) and full system backups. I actually filled a 16GB card up easily, and have to delete a system backup before I can make a new one nowadays. Since my full system backups are now 4GB+, filling the card isn't hard. It would help if Titanium Media Sync had a setting that let it sync to the FTP I setup for it and not delete the files that aren't on the tablet. To keep the backups in sync I have to leave them on the tablet, or move the files on the server to a different directory so they won't be wiped. I'm seriously considering upgrading to a 32GB card for the main tablet. (One is basically a backup I don't use unless needed, the other I use daily.) I also would like more space to transfer files from Dad's PC to mine occasionally, so I may actually go for a 64GB one.

Backups are probably one of the biggest space eaters, followed by video files. I put some movies on Dad's phone for him and only a handful fills his microSD card up. I believe his is only an 8GB card though.
