Morphology

storable = store (transparent) = store + able

Same productive formation: verb 'store' + '-able' yields an adjective meaning 'capable of being stored', applicable to electronic storage as well.

Etymology

Storable comes from the verb store and the ending -able, where store means 'to save' and -able means 'can be'. So on a phone or computer, a storable file is one you can put into storage or memory to use later.
