How to Increase Memory of Your Roku Device

You can increase your Roku player’s memory up to 32 GB using a microSD card. The extra storage space cannot be used to store videos and streamed content. It can only store extra channels and related info.
Follow these simple steps to learn how to increase your Roku’s memory.

1. Insert microSD into Roku Slot
Insert your microSD card into the microSD slot on your Roku. This is usually on the back side of the player. Roku will automatically detect the microSD card.
A message saying the inserted SD card was detected will appear on your screen. The pop up will ask you to format the card in order to continue using it with your Roku player.

2. Format microSD Card
Select the ‘Format’ button on the pop-up screen. Another dialog box will appear, warning you that formatting will remove all the available data on your micro SD card.

3. Hit ‘Continue’
Select the ‘Continue’ button in the dialog box that appears. The formatting process will start and may take a little time to complete. When it’s done, a pop-up will appear to let you know it has finished.
Roku formats your memory in accordance to the file storage system it uses. This is important as Roku might not be able to store data on your memory card if it has been previously formatted using any other device.

4. Select ‘OK’
When formatting is complete, a box will appear to confirm this. Select the ‘OK’ button. Your SD card will now be ready for use.

Your memory card is now ready to store your favorite channels.
