If you have both OTG & SD card, which should you use?

I understand that with SD card, you don't have to remove & put it again like OTG so it has an advantage perhaps, but OTG maybe useful for mobiles which don't have an external storage.

OTG is temporary usage, SD card is permanent usage. U cant plug in an OTG and leave it.

Always try to get the most amount of SD card possible, OTG is great but its an added hassle, and it omly shines when you need to copy data between multiple devices
