I've currently applied the hack to move the My Documents to the SD card by renaming the SD to My Documents in the registry, however I store a lot of other info on the card and ideally want to move the My Documents folder to being a subdirectory of the SD card so all the files and folders a bit more manageable.
Is this possible?

When downloading in PIE, I only get the option to download to Main Memory.
How do I get the option to do this?
Also, if I start Mobile Word ec I only get to see docs in Main memory not SD Card.
What I am doing wrong?
okay, i'll answer one bit myself.
Docs on SD card , mustnt now be in sub folders of my documents. Today themes must just be in Storage Card, no sub folders.
Still stuck on Pie ?
Ok, I'll add to that...your .doc's don't have to be in My Documents, you can create as many folders as you want in the storage card's root and put your .doc's in it. Word will 'see' them. Helps to split your documents up a bit...I've created the folders 'Business Documents', 'Personal Documents', Downloaded Documents, etc.
is it simply a case of copying and pasting from the old card ?
make your Windows show all hidden files and folders and then simply copy everything to your new card.
Is there a way to prevent this? If I try to open any office documents from the external SD card on the S3, it will open it as a separate file in a temporary folder in windows. I am not able to save as back to the SD folder. It will say Read Only. I can not even write to the SD card if I have the file that is in the SD card open. I believe this is the way MTB works, but on my DroidX, I did not have this problem. Is there a solution to this?
I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 GTi9505 and I noticed something very odd and very confusing.
On my HTC Desire phone, I use ES File Explorer and it only has SD Card and of course the System files.
But, on the S4, it has two directories for the SD card which are: ExternalSD and SD Card
My personal data like my photos and documents are under the ExternalSD rather than under SD Card.
I noticed this on Airdroid app first and then on ES File Explorer.
So when saving my personal date onto my phone and whenever I buy a new phone in the future, all should be on the External SD card instead of the SD Card in case I have to swap those personal files and data onto that new phone???
See attached photo screen from Airdroid, and this is using my S4 phone. So you see, it has two SD cards. One External SD and the other SD Card.
So if I want to SAVE or BACKUP my personal data andmy photos, should I store them under the ExternalSD folder?
Thanks

Sdcard is internal sdcard (non-removable) extSdCard is external sdcard (removable). So you store all your music, photos (can set the camera to save it to external) videos and documents to external card and you can later put that card into another device. Internal sdcard is mostly for application and game datas, currently, if your not rooted, you can't move those giant games and etc to external card. The new firmware can only move the application itself to external card but not game data.
Hi,
Looking for the best way to do this:
Pre-Marshmallow, I have lots of pics, apps and Misc. stuff on my SD card.
Now that Marshmallow has new options, how can I format the card as internal storage
and then move all the previous back. Can I just copy the cards files to my pc, then reinsert
the card in phone, format for internal storage, and then move all files back????
Any help or direction will be appreciated. Don't really want to lose all the files that
are currently on the SD card.

Yes that would be what I would do. Just make sure you copy them instead of moving in case something goes wrong during the move. That way you still have files on the card. When done copying make sure files are all on PC then delete from card
