In various embodiments, a computer-implemented method includes identifying data files in external storage, where the data files correspond to a computer software application (application) on a mobile device. The method may also include sorting the one or more data files into different access levels. The method may also include predicting the sorted one or more data files that will be accessed on the mobile device using a prediction engine. The method may also include locating the predicted one or more data files in the external storage using a migration map. The method may also include determining whether the predicted one or more data files were previously migrated to the external storage from the mobile device. The method may also include migrating the predicted one or more data files from the external storage to the mobile device.

Data migration for applications on a mobile device

In various embodiments, a computer-implemented method includes identifying data files in external storage, where the data files correspond to a computer software application (application) on a mobile device and where the data files were previously stored on the mobile device. The method may also include sorting the data files into different access levels, where the access levels designate a hierarchy for the data files. The method may also include predicting the sorted data files that will be accessed on the mobile device using a prediction engine. The method may also include locating, in response to the predicting, the predicted data files in the external storage. The method may also include migrating the predicted data files from the external storage to the mobile device, where the migrating is done in order of the access levels.

In various embodiments, a computer-implemented method includes identifying computer software applications (applications) on a mobile device. The method may also include generating migration profiles for the applications, where each application corresponds (corresponding application) to a migration profile and where the migration profile includes data files about the corresponding application. The method may also include monitoring storage space of the applications on the mobile device, where the monitoring includes identifying data files of the applications. The method may also include calculating an amount of storage space to determine whether there is a shortage of storage space for the data files. The method may also include, in response to calculating that there is a shortage of storage space, determining when the data files will be migrated. The method may also include, in response to determining when the data files will be migrated, migrating the data files to external storage.
