I never got this. We've reached phones having hundreds of gigs and I don't know what I'd be storing on my phone. Phones can be lost or break easily, so I wouldn't want to store anything valuable. The largest files I have tend to be photos and the like, and they're too valuable to just sit on a phone.
I synchronize some documents, photos and music between my phone and computer. I need these files on the go. They are saved at home too.
For me it's mostly music and videos I can play when I don't have a connection.
Offline downloads of maps can get pretty big
Very fair points have been raised. Offline music, maps etc. Makes sense.
