Hi friends,so I found this thing where the Google my files app shows that I have used only 45gb of storage,while the Samsung's default file manager shows that almost 52GB is filled.

Nb: Actually Google's File app is correct because the additional 6GB or so of storage shown by Samsung is actually due to "media storage app" duplicating everything in my gallery.( If anyone of you remember, I have already posted this issue earlier).

So this is my question - what do you think is gonna happen when the storage is filled up according to Samsung's My File app while the Google's app shows that the storage is left? Will I be able to use the storage further?
I appreciate all your thoughts.

Yes brother, there is Samsung's file showing extra coverage, and according that we can't use further storage..

As some days ago my Samsung's storage was showing 121 GB out of 128 GB, storage was at above 90% full...

That means our actual storage is according to Samsung's storage... 👍

Take care brother 🙂

You know why Google File app is showing lesser storage?

Maybe Google files doesn't add applications data..

In your phone difference is 6GB and my in phone is only 3GB... that's can be Applications which we're using...Screenshot_20211219-201815_My Files_93141_1639925312.jpgScreenshot_20211219-202836_Files by Google_93142_1639925929.jpg
