I was wondering if there any way of switching storage where data can be store. For instant, i want to store all the temp internet files on my microsd card rather than internal nand.
I just have benchmark my class 10 microsd and it is faster than the internal storage. The microsd is a class 10 16gb card. What I really want is to store all data on the external and my music for the internal.
Any help would apprecciated.
It would be useful for privacy reasons. Like storing all browser cookies, cache etc. Maybe someone will come up with a hack.

Hello all I am typing this on my new iconia. The tablet seems to always want to use internal memory for everything (pictures videos etc.)and does not offer app2sd or a way to even navigate to the microsd card without a 3rd party app like astro, so what is the SD card intended for?
It is a little odd there's no mention of it in the default file browser, isn't it?
It's not a primary feature; not when the tablet itself sports 32GB of storage, I guess. It was enough that Android supported it, so they bunged it in just because.
If you've filled up your 32GB I can see how it would be a hassle trying to use the external SD card as easily as you do the internal storage.

You can never have to much storage. I keep my 32gb flash drive and 250gb hard drive close by.

Amen to that!! I've got 2.5Tb storage on my server, 1Tb on this PC, 1Tb on my PS3, about 700 megabytes in removable storage and then some in various gadgets.. and I STILL feel like I'm running out of space all the time!
Well my tablet is a 16gb and is running out of room due to offline maps. I had not really considered that the data would be handled differently than an android phone where the app lives in internal memory and the data was on the SD card.
I've moved all of my video and music to the external SD card; PowerAmp has no issues with the files being there (and has an option to look in any subfolder off /mnt/ to find the files.)
Since most of my music is in WMA format I don't use the default Music player very often and don't know if it's "smart" enough (i.e. been told) to look in a /Music folder on the external card.
hi - I have both internal SD card (2gb) and an external SD (8gb).
My external card is full with music, whenever I try to take video or photos from the camera, it says there isn't enough space.
How can I use the internal SD card for saving photos / video from the camera. In fact, I can't see a way to use the internal SD cards 2gb at all?? surely it is usable??
Thanks
I think that default camera app doesn't save data to internal storage if there is an external, but in market there are some camera apps which have this option(I think lg camera is one of them)
You can just move some of music, video or photos to internal storage, to make room on external sd.
Cheers, I'll try moving some of my music to the internal SD card

So when I bought a 128 gb sd card. And I format it as internal I can move the apps to SD. But when using Google Play Music saving offline saves to my actual internal not internal SD how do I fix it?
Moto X Pure edition
Android 6.0
I did the same at first, then reformatted sd as external storage and just used play music's native storage selection. I'm a heavy user and the 32gb internal storage is fine if I'm not storing my media there.
Google play music storage selection....

Sd card whats the point if most app/games are install internal memory. No option for adapted storage, the hack seems to do more harm than good. Whe i download a big game. Even when i transfer file to sd, most memory stay in internal. I see almost no use for it

Why this thread if you have no use of a SD Card?
SD cards are not just for game storage, people keep their personal videos and pictures on them and like the ability to swap between devices and take their pictures and videos along.

I've exhausted my internal storage with apps and app data so I wouldn't be able to take pictures and video if it weren't for the SD card. I also store movies and TV shows for areas where I have no data. I can also pop in my Phantom 3's micro SD Card and view it's 2K footage.
I've got a 200GB which I used the hack to adopt... No troubles at all. I would much rather have this setup than no expansion path and just 64GB onboard.
be transferred to a micro SD card?
Personally, I transferred Facebook & Facebook Messenger to my SanDisk 200gig micro SD card and after doing so I clicked on my Facebook icon and my S7 Edge glitched & stuttered for a second and then went directly into boot loop. Even though I read online these two apps can be migrated to the SD card with the S7, and my phone easily made & recognized the transfer, something wasn't happy afterward.
Anyone else have similar experiences?

I personally don't transfer anything to SD card. It is slower than the internal memory. My SD card is for storage purposes only

So when you say Storage, you would be talking strictly photos, videos, music?
I ask because I am totally new to Android as well as having a SD card in a phone (having come from the iPhone world).
Thanks.

Yeah when I mean storage, literally EVERYTHING ELSE that isn't an app. Music, videos, pictures, documents, file back ups, pdfs, zip files to flash. It all goes on my SD card. Built in phone storage is for apps I download and whatever it stores in cache etc. I do have Spotify download offline playlist to my SD card as well. Any app that has it's own built in option to store downloaded data to the SD card, I'll do. There aren't many and it is normally just backups (SMS Backup Restore for example can back up all your texts and call log to external sd card).
