First of all your question is not clear. and i would like to tell you that to make the new one work u do not need to do any modifications in the names of folders
the old memory card has loads of files from other phones its been in so dont want to be putting them on to the new memory card so ive took all photos music videos off the old memory card ready to put back onto the new memory card. i have files on the old memory card with busybox and xrecovery do i need to copy these over to the new memory card as well ?
i also had photos and music that i couldnt find on my phone but just found them on the memory old card as well so why did these not show up on my galaxy ?

if all your doing is moving photos and music over to the new card there is no need to transfer anything else, if your phone didn't find certain music files or photos i'd say its likely due to the format they are in.
I would like to suggest you to format the memory card u bought then put the media files u want in it and then insert in the phone. It will work and things will be shown in the gallary

Suggest:
Un-mount existing card & remove.
Format new card in the phone, not in your computer.
Add new folders:
DCIM/
DCIM/Camera/
Music/
Videos/
Copy across your photos and albums and any other important stuff. Make sure you transfer any nandroid or Titanium backups you may have kept on external SD card. Set camera to save pictures to external SD card if you wish.
This is what I did on upping to a 32GB card recently. Good luck!
Hi, I recently got a Samsung Galaxy S5 and I bought an SD card for additional storage since the phone only has 16GB. Just in case, the phone is not rooted. I was trying to install an app earlier today and it wouldn't install because I didn't have any storage space left on my device. I wanted to know if there is any way to set the SD card as the default directory when downloading apps, stuff from the internet(videos, music, pictures), taking pictures and videos on the phone, etc. Thanks
For pictures/videos you can open camera and click the settings icon (top left) and choose storage location to be Memory Card.
Some large apps (like games), if you go to settings and app management, let you transfer them to SD card.
You can also go to settings, storage, and clear cache.
If you have a lot of photos on your device, the gallery view thumbnails seem to use a tremendous amount of data; - nearly 2 gb on mine!! I have used utilities that allow me to clean these to retrieve the space, but the next time I view the gallery, the thumbnails just take up the space again; in addition, the performed task of cleaning them out just makes them load more slowly.
I'm hoping someone may have a trick (or hack) that can move the gallery thumbnails to the external SD card. Considering I only have 16gb of storage to begin with, and nearly 5 of it used up to store the basic OS, I'm not left with much space after installing my favorite apps. Furthermore, the performance on my device seems to be degrading as I approach maximum storage capacity on the internal storage.
I'm aware of programs that allow me to move program data to the external SD, but I have found that it's not uncommon that many programs have a tendency to glitch when using these utilities. I'm really more interested in staying focused on my primary intent of moving JUST the gallery thumbnails to the external SD card in hopes of saving space on my primary storage.
If it matters, my device is a rooted Verizon S5 running KitKat 4.4.4.

You can use the program FolderMount to make a folder on the Internal SD point to a folder on the External SD.
You may need the premium version to mount a folder that isn't in a data or obb folder.

Hi, I have a strange problem with my S7 Edge. It seems that my space is running low everytime and I keep deleting stuff to free up space for updates. Im sure my data is no more than 6GB. I know the usable storage for the 32gb version is 24gb. So why cannot access the rest of the storage?
Can anyone run an analyze and see how much storage usage they have on their internal storage?
Here is how mine looks like:
You need to show what is in "others" it is probably your data partition and it perhaps has big game files installed in there to be 20G in size. Do you use Gear VR? There are some huge downloads in that which end up in internal SD only, do you have a dual SIM version? If not, run a micro SD card, move your DCIM folder across and your camera app will typically auto-switch it's preferences to saving photos and videos to the "external" SD instead of internal.

Have you tried clearing the cache from the settings , storage menu?
I did tried opening the Others- doesnt show anything useful. How can I browse the data partition? I always thought that the internal sd is the data partition. Ideas?
I'm using normal sim version with internal sd card already setup to store images in sd card.
I dont use gear VR. and when I analyze space the Apps and DCIM folder with all my data is around 7GB. I cannot seem to find what takes the rest of the storage - not with a meaningful software. When I browse my internal storage, it seems that the used space there is aroung 7-8GB, and thats all.
Yes, I do this often in order to allow Google updates. Otherwise it cannot update apps.
