Are you looking for apps in general that you can use your sdcard contents with?
Like Adobe Reader, or Mobo player for watching video files? File expert is a good file manager which can help you navigate and see your file structure and the contents of your sdcard.
Anyone have problems with the SD card slot I can't copy or create folders I have tryed more than one SD card I'm running stock 3.2 with no root

There seems to be a change in the root owner of the 3.2.1 ROM for the external sd card that keeps you from being able to write to the sd card from the Thrive.
It also did this on 3.1

File Manager HD (Honeycomb
Had same issue until I found this nice app on Android Marketplace:
File Manager HD (Honeycomb) by Rhythm Software
It is free and I was very pleased. After installing, I was able to access my sd card, create folders, then I copied my apps and pictures that were backed up on the internal memory card and pasted into folders I created on my external sd card.
App can be found on Marketplace but I did experience trouble downloading from there. However, there was a link included in the App Description so I was able to click on the link and downloaded app directly from that link.
You can find the link just after the first note that reads:
NOTE: If you have problem for downloading this application to your device from Android market, please directly download it from our website:
Name of app is:
File Manager HD (Honeycomb)

Actually I faced the same issue on my thrive, I just got a brand new 16G SDHC class6 card yesterday, and same problem the CARD couldn't be operated. Here is my thrive 3.1.04.5.0006 in china, finally I changed another card in my hand which is 2g SD c4 into slot, everything was ok, then I mounted 16g back again, surprised I can read the content of 16G card, but still can not create or paste anything. File manager HD does not work either, I feel thats the problem of permisssion
I think its Toshiba's problem maybe I should try emailing them and reporting the problem and maybe they will work up a fix
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA App
Toshiba is well aware of the issue. If you go to the Toshiba site, many have reported it. Actually, it is not a Toshiba problem per say. Google made a change in the permissions on the sd card along with changing the mount point. If you check, many manufacturers are having this issue since HC 3.2 came out.
this seems not only issue for 3.2, 3.1 also, but mine is resovled for now, I can read/write stuff in, however I do not why it can work right now, just guess its not so stable.
I don't know why this is, but maybe it will help someone. I've been using Android devices for some time now, with the Cyanogen Mod ROMs. I just got the Thrive this past weekend and am running the stock 3.1 ROM, rooted.
I installed an SD card that has a lot of data on it from another Android device (chiefly e-books, which are organized in a "Books" folder at the root, then in subfolders by author). I found that the directory /sdcard/ had the expected folders in it (using the Toshiba File Manager), but that none of my book readers could find any of the "author" subfolders. It looked as if only the top-level directories existed and everything under them had vanished!
After doing a lot of head scratching, and moving files around, etc. I discovered that there was a directory called /sdcard/sdcard-disk0/ which contained all of the file structure that exists in the root of the physical SD card, as viewed on any other computer (desktops or another Android device).
Somehow, the Toshiba version of Android is creating what I think is a logical device (or maybe a symlink?) to the "real" SD card. I don't know why, but when I point apps to this directory instead of just /sdcard/ things start to work again.
I can help with a dirty hack to setup the external SD as the primary storage. Only for 3.2, will update this post as soon as I am at my desk.

**EDIT This isn't a failing on toshibas part, but the nature of honeycomb itself.
however, here is how to setup your external SD card as the primary storage. I can't recommend enough to NOT take the card out while the tablet is in operation. This is a dirty method of changing up the mount points in the vold.fstab.
First it will require root on your tablet. You will need to download any file explorer that can mount the system as r/w. ES file manager, root explorer, etc etc.
Browse to /etc/ and open vold.fstab, the built in text editor in root explorer will do the trick nicely.
You need to switch the mount points of both the sd cards.
dev_mount storage /mnt/sdcard 8 /devices/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/mmc_host/mmc0
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard2 auto /devices/platform/sdhci-tegra.2/mmc_host/mmc1
will then look like.
dev_mount storage /mnt/sdcard2 8 /devices/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/mmc_host/mmc0
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/sdhci-tegra.2/mmc_host/mmc1
noticing the 2 (external sd card) is being mounted as the thrives storage instead of an extra card.
Save the file, reboot the thrive, and enjoy installing as many apps as you want to your external sd card.

Hello!
I have a problem to write data to external microSD card mounted to my Tab 7.7. I cannot copy/move files, create folders, etc. there when doing this using the Tab. At the same time I can do all of this from my PC when the Tab is connected to it - I can create folders on the microSD, copy or move file. Also, there is no problem to read data form the external card by the Tab (books, for example). So, the problem seems to be only with writing to the card from the Tab.
Could anyone give an advice please? Thank you.

You can only use the internal File Manager app built-in the tablet, OR if you have a rooted tab, then use root explorer or estrongs in root mode to do so.
Basically, the microSD card is mounted in a very awkward state - normally you cannot move or delete files from the card, but with the built in file manager app you do have the proper permissions.

You need root, and make sure you do a nandroid backup prior to modifying the file.

Try Airdroid.
With it you send files to your phone via WIFI. This will somehow bypass the writing protection of the phone.
I'm using it myself as I can't find any other way around, only this works
:good: :good: :good:.You the King .I did as you said.The files copied fully over airdroid.The game is working fully.Realy appreciate it.Airdroid is awesome.One more thing, Is there a way to run games off the external sd card and not the device internal storage as the device internal storage is only 8gb on the samsung galaxy s4 mini

Use airdroid, or copy the files to your external sd card and then transfer it to your Android folder on the phone itself. I use ES File Explorer to do the job

From external sdcard copy to the internal sdcard
another way is to copy the rar file and extract it on the device

FolderMount is your friend. Google it up.
The reason you cant copy large files into that folder is because 4.2 has new folder permissions on the Android folder. Getting through them is tricky. I usually just let the app make the folder and then let it download like 1%. Then use FolderMount to set up a mirror in external card and copy the obb file into external card. :good:
transfer big files to extsd
Transfer big files (such as fifa) to sd card via gl to sd ...make sure after transferring u must open the game through gltosd only !
Hi,
I opened a new thread because my problem seems different from this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2607215 as I experience the same microSD card problems but that thread's fix won't work.
Brand new, out of the box, N9005. Before using it I immediately rooted it and then I immediately flsahed 4.4.2 (polish) and then re-roooted. Root is confirmed as Titanium, ROM Manager etc all work.
Evrything is fine except the microSD card:
- Android OS can see the card, mount/unmount and format.
- File Expert PRO cannot even read the card.
- Astro File mngr can read (let me edit with editors) and save but cannot rename.
- Dropsync cannot download anything onto the card.
- Dropsync can download same files on internal memory.
- Can see, edit, save, rename, delete - everything ok - if I operate via PC w/ USB.
- Apps can see the content but cannot write on it.
- Apps which rely on microSD card (but not move to ExtSD) are greyed out and don't work.
I tried 3 cards, 8GB, 32GB (class 4) and this 64GB Sandisk (class 10).
All exibit the same problem.
I formatted all the cards with rapid format in PC.
The 64GB card I also did a full, 1 hour, format in PC.
I utried both NTFS and FAT in PC.
Help! Please!
Same problem here, i hope you found a solution for it

External SD card mount point fix for kitkat roms
Im unrooted so I'm just having to wait for the 3rd party updates.
this is bull*
i don't want to root my phone in order to solve their problem .. JESUS!
it seems it's a Kikat problem, google also wants to f*ck us now.
http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/58592/using-an-external-sdcard-with-kitkat
Agree... For once, I left my phone unrooted (after owning Galaxy S, S2 and Note2), and now this... I can modify the external SD with the built in file explorer, but ES File Explorer, Solid Explorer, SMS Backup & Restore and Sygic have problems writing or modifying content on the SD.
As the builtin file manager CAN access the SD, I hope it can be solved by the app devs, however, I find it strange that it is still not fixed for a lot of apps (actually none I could find in my app list), and that this is not one of the top discussions here...
I already contacted some of the support teams of the apps, but some of them indicate they are working on a fix themselves, whereas others say it can not be fixed in 3rd party apps...
I have the Sprint Note 3 running 4.4.2, and could access the SdCard from Titanium Backup. I used this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2607215 from above. I downloaded the platform.xml and used root explorer to place it in the right folder, set permission and rebooted. It worked perfectly and now I can run Titanium Backup and save it on the ExtSdCard.
Thanks
its the new kitkat ext. sdcard rules.. !
now developers have to update their apps to work with the new rules..
ES file explorer is updated,, it does work to some extent..
btw,, everythings ok with the Samsung's own file manager..
