Among all the notifications we receive throughout the day, the alert that warns us that there is no space left in Xiaomi Cloud sneaks into Xiaomi and Redmi mobiles. This alert that tries to help us can be a nuisance after a few days, as we will be forced to continually withdraw it. However, there are methods to get rid of this annoying notification, as well as others that we do not want to receive.
The solution is valid both on mobile phones with MIUI 10, MIUI 11 and MIUI 12 , with identical steps. Since Xiaomi integrated its own cloud we have found a greater dependence on the cloud service, although there are not many who choose Xiaomi’s. This is what causes our smartphone to constantly ask us to expand the contracted cloud storage.
What does this alert mean?
The origin of the notification and alert is given when using our Xiaomi account on the smartphone, because it automatically generates a personalized cloud to protect from the photos, to the preferences of our configuration. It is an option that depends on the Xiaomi cloud, which is limited to 5 GB of free space , but when exceeding it, it asks us with this alert that we pay more to continue enjoying the advantages.
Anyway, we do not have to worry, because without paying the main configurations of the mobile are still stored in the Google account. The only problem would be in the photos and documents, which if we must save in the cloud service that we want, or move them manually when changing mobile.
Why can’t the alert be removed on Xiaomi Cloud
Once we receive the notification, our mobile shows us the quick action to obtain storage after a payment. As this is not what interests us, we can try to access it, which will show us the Xiaomi Cloud options , which even with all the options disabled will continue to show us the alert and does not offer the option to deactivate this repetitive notification.
Steps to remove the out of space notification
The only thing we can do to avoid this notification is based on the following process, where we will be able to disable Xiaomi Cloud notifications without affecting other system notifications such as update notifications. We will start by tilting the Xiaomi Cloud alert to the left of the screen and at this point it is important not to quickly deactivate this option, but we have to enter more settings.
Once inside the Xiaomi Cloud notification settings, we will be able to choose not to receive this alert. We will only have to uncheck the first option, although we can also prevent the notification from appearing on the lock screen or customize it so that not even sound or vibration reaches the mobile with only this alert.
How to free up space on Xiaomi Cloud
In addition to getting rid of the warning annoyance, we can try to avoid the Xiaomi Cloud notification for a while longer. We will do this by entering the Xiaomi Cloud storage manager found in Settings> Mi Account> Xiaomi Cloud. Here we will have a graph with everything that is taking up space in our account and generates the alert.
Tapping on the different sections such as the copy of the home screen or in the gallery, we find different options. In the first, we will see all the copies of the Xiaomi phones used by the account with the option to delete it and free up that space . In the gallery, we can touch on the settings and choose that the photos are not synchronized on this mobile, although we have to change again when we leave this mobile for another from Xiaomi.
Tips for not repeating
In case of not changing the mobile, we will keep this configuration, although we would also have to reconfigure this action in case of doing a hard reset on our mobile. Through some system updates, this preferred option can also be deactivated and therefore it is convenient to save this tutorial to remove the space alert in Xiaomi Cloud or to remember the steps.
Not using the Xiaomi account would be another alternative, although however we will be losing many advantages such as the protection it offers us to locate the mobile. This can be done in Settings> My Account and then tapping on log out, although as we have mentioned, some of the previous options is convenient.
