People are just realising there’s a little-known Amazon Fire Stick perk that instantly boosts their device

ONE of the biggest complaints regarding the Amazon Fire Stick is the lack of internal storage.

But there’s a cheap accessory that can instantly boost it.

All you need to do is pair it will a USB stick you almost certainly have lying around your house.

Fire Stick’s have 8GB of storage., but only around 5.5GB that can actually be used, which can be quickly eaten up by apps.

Maxing out your storage can be frustrating when wanting to download something new.

You’re left torn as to which application to sacrifice, and which you should save.

Worse yet, your Fire Stick’s storage being too full can also cause buffering on the platform during the TV shows and movies you watch.

But you can actually use an old USB stick you have tucked away at home as an external storage drive.

Amazon recommends your USB drive be USB 3.0 and no larger than 128GB in size. 

But to use it, you’ll need to purchase an OTG Cable.

These can be found for between £5 and £10 online.

You can install applications onto the external USB Drive, which can be used when it’s plugged in.

So there’s no more having to weigh up the pros and cons of each app when downloading something new.

You really can have you cake and eat it.
