Syncing error - "no space left on device"

[Darcy]

I recently did a reset on my phone and now have Spotify syncing to my SD card. Music has been syncing correctly but after a while (such as when I tried to sync another playlist today) I get the following error.

"Syncing error

Offline syncing has stopped as there's no space left on this device."

However, there definitely should be space left. The SD card shows 26.48 GB free out of a total 29.76 GB. (That's 3 GB used for the existing spotify cache.

For what it's worth, there äs also 1.1 GB free on the device memory and 3.74 GB free in the internal storage.

I have already tried clearing the Spotify cache and re-syncing everything but the same error comes up after a while. Is there some kind of limit coded into the app? Any what to get all my music to sync?

I tried several times, I do all the instructions, but doesn't work, maybe my phone is crazy.

I just become premium for this... Seriously?

Try changing from SD to device storage or vice versa, worked for me after trying EVERYTHING else.

Where is the folder located? I went to settings to storage to apps to spotify but I couldn't find the folder. I tried to go into the app and it just stays on a black screen and pops up a notification saying "No storage area found."

I'm having the same issue. Mine says I do not have enough storage when I do! I'm just disappointed in the app, it "used" to be my favourite. I pay the $12-$13 for premium and as listed it says I can play offline music, which I cannot unless I download, which is dumb it never did this before.... Now after downloading a few songs it will not let me download the rest #geturISHtogetherspotify what a waste of $12-$13

What happens if the file is still there, under Internal Storage? This is happening to me too, I can't seem to free up the 6gb of space Spotify is taking up on my device.

I've don't this but the folder has re appeared, any ideas?

Hey @Teammclaren your post doesn't make a lot of sense but, if you've run out of storage, the first thing you should do is reinstall spotify following the instructions here. If you still have problems, please post details of your device, android version and spotify version with a description of what isn't working along with any error messages you see, thanks.

Just bought a new Samsung Galaxy S8 and started downloading all my songs again. Spent the whole day doing it. After about 1,000 songs, I started getting the "DOWNLOAD ERROR" message. I have 40GB of space left. Kinda ridiculous given that I know I'm allowed 3,333 songs as a premium member.

All I can think of is that you have set spotify to use the SD card (which is full) as the storage location. Go to spotify's settings and switch the storage location to "device storage" and the cache will be moved from SD card to internal storage. It may take a minute or two but you should see a notification showing progress. Once the transfer completes, try those downloads again.

I have followed these steps and the folder still pops back up. I have deleted it from my internal storage, but it also appears in my SD card. Do I need to delete it there to?

I had this error messag as well. I just wento options on spotify >storage and selected internal memory. It looks like the new updates stores your songs on your SD card creating a conflict since I have like 2gb of space. Spotify will transfer your data to your device memory and it will solve the issue
