1 Storage capacity
Alexa devices do not typically have user-accessible storage capacity like a
smartphone or computer. Instead, they rely on cloud-based services for
most of their functionality. User data, voice interactions, and preferences
are stored in the cloud, not on the device itself. Media content is streamed,
and skills or apps may have their own data storage, but it's usually managed
by developers. .
