The amount of data and storage DreamSave needs to run optimally

Although DreamSave is designed to work both online and offline, there are a few elements that will need an internet connection such as regular updates, backup of user data or other services running in the background.

We have carried out some rigorous tests to help users plan for the amount of data they can expect while running DreamSave.

Data Usage
When budgeting for data usage for a Dreamsave pilot, users should consider these important functions:

DreamSave Installation

Group Registration

Meeting Backups

User Data synchronization

Periodic updates to DreamSave

External Variables

Here’s an improved, clearer version:

Installing DreamSave from the Play Store uses 35–40 MB, and each update requires 15–18 MB. For a typical savings group with 20–40 members meeting weekly, monthly data usage is about 120 MB. It is important to note that “external variables” such as other apps running in the phone’s background, may increase data usage as they use the internet connection to sync data. For example, if a user has an email account, the device may check for new emails, which can affect the data plan.

Storage Usage
For DreamSave to run optimally without any issues, it is recommended to have at least 1GB of free storage space on the device and at least 4GB of total RAM. The app itself uses very little storage space (about 80MB), but group members will usually take photographs to upload to their profiles. For most groups, 1GB free space will be enough for those profile photos and to run DreamSave.
