'Speicherung' (storage) is a noun derived from the verb 'speichern' (to store/save). The ending '-ung' turns many verbs into nouns that describe the process or result of the action.
Bitte speichern Sie das Dokument.
Please save the document.
The noun 'Speicherung' (storage) is very often used with a genitive object to specify what is being stored. Alternatively, compound words are often formed.
Die Speicherung der Kundendaten muss sicher sein.
The storage of customer data must be secure.
The context makes the meaning clear. In connection with computers, photos, or files, it refers to digital information. In the context of energy, gas, or goods, it refers to physical storage.
Die Speicherung von großen Videodateien benötigt viel Platz.
Storing large video files requires a lot of space.
In a digital context, typical collocations are 'die Speicherung von Daten' (the storage of data), 'die Speicherung in der Cloud' (storage in the cloud), or 'die automatische Speicherung' (automatic saving/storage).

recording / admission / uptake
'die Aufnahme' and 'die Speicherung' can both have to do with data, audio, or images. 'Aufnahme' means the moment when something is captured, for example a video, a sound, or an image. 'Speicherung' is more about these data being safely stored so that they can be used again later. The words can be confused because a recording is often also stored. The difference is: first you make the 'Aufnahme', and then, or at the same time, the 'Speicherung' happens.
Nach der Aufnahme prüft er die Speicherung der Datei auf dem Laptop.
After the recording, he checks that the file has been saved on the laptop.
Bei der Arbeit startet Tom die Aufnahme des Gesprächs.
