    Balancing storage efficiency and security on Android and iOS requires a smart approach. Efficient storage means managing caches, compressing files, and offloading unused data, while security demands encryption, strong permissions, and controlled access. The key is finding a balance—using secure cloud storage, careful file management, and privacy-focused settings to keep data safe without running out of space.
