I am a new android user and my device is Sony Xperia Z1. I am not being able to play games without storing OBB data to Internal Storage. It would be great if I could store all OBB files to my SD card and still be able to play games. So, can anyone please help me out by telling how to move OBB files to SD card from internal storage?
You can't. If the app itself doesn't support moving data to SD (like Google Play Music for example) you'll have to live with apps filling your internal memory...
I thought that it's just me that is not able to get this done... But as it seems it's not just me that had trouble with it. Weird thing but also it's done to somehow(?) prevent people for getting game files easily without paying for them. I can't think about any other idea right now ;d

If you're rooted use FOLDER MOUNT from playstore.

Right now I am using Gameloft to SD app for moving all my games to SD card
1) First fix your remount reboot error get it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317432
if you did not have recovery then use windows.exe installation method. Rooted device is requied
2) Download GL to SD app from play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slf.ListglApp&hl=en
move your games data
3) After moving data you can play games by this method only
3.1) open GL to SD app
3.2) you will see two button on top right side, first button is mount and second one is for unmount
3.3) press the mount button and wait until the button color change into blue
3.4) Now click on play button which ever game you like to play.
Note:
Mounting the games required working R/O R/W sytem which is not available for locked boat-loader on sony stock 4.3_290 firmware.
But you can use it after this error will be fixed for locked boat-loaders
Unlock boatloader devices can use it in android 4.3

moving apps
According to published info moving apps to ext SDcard in ICS is possible with Gemini App Manager 2.4.5/smile.gif
Thanks for the information. I was wondering which app people were running for moving apps to the SD.
yeah this is def needed, i love this tablet 7
EZ moving apps to SD
The ability to move apps, folders and media files is built into GT2. Use the native My Files app to drag and drop files from internal to external sd card. Move files from the right pane into the External SD card folder in the left pane.
I've used My Files to move files and folders but would that actually work with an app? I would think the app would become unusable or would it even be seen anymore?
I have moved the apk from the data folder into the external SD card and the apps have continued to work fine. Of course some apps should not be moved, ie: those with Widgets.
Well, I'm gonna have try that out. Thanks.

I may be doing something wrong since, despite being rooted, I can't seem to get to the Root directory to access Data/App using the My Files app. Would you mind showing us the steps to do that?
With your suggestion, we have to manually move each app that we install? Kinda tedious.
If so, I'll stick to Link2SD.

Sorry, not the same thing. Moving files from int SD to Ext SD is not the same thing as Apps2SD.
The method list in the OP works for me.
thanks! but the data of the apps, which is the more space that has it can't be moved.
Am I the only one that can't move apks to the external SD?
I tried all of these suggested apps but all of them tell me that there is not enough space...
I've an EMPTY 32Gb SD well partitioned (28gb FAT32 and 1gb Ext3). What's wrong on my tablet? :cyclops:

this does not work and was using v2.5.3 on JB 4.1.1
Stock firmware can't read ext3, u must format your second partition in ext4. Link2sd works, but move only apks data, not all data (u can move an apk of a game but not all 1gb or more...)
Gltosd moves all datas. I use it.
It will be useful if the creator of the script to swap internal/external sd card, will make a p3100 version of his script....:angel:
could and would someone point me in the right direction on how to move apps, how to have things saved i.e. downloaded movies to the external sd card at the point of download,,, it says i can move apps to sd card.. but not the ext... any help would be great. thx
I convert my movies onto my iMac and drag them to my 64gb external
I haven't read up on it as I have a 32gb phone and have plenty of extra memory for my needs. I think only the app can be moved, not data. And not sure how it is done yet until we get the latest OTA. Thought I saw some rom that advertised it--not sure.
Try a search or Google
Well I was able to get the app I wanted to the ext card and was able to change the directory in the app so now the app is on my ext sd card and it saves right to the ext card...I used es file explorer...I tried it a few times then it finally just showed up on my ext card and not on internal....yeah me lol

Anything you have downloaded (files) you can move to the sd card using the built in file manager. Open file manager, internal storage, downloads folder - select the files to move, then tap the menu icon (top right) and pick move or copy, then browse to the destination.
If you are referring to movie downloads from google play or something like that, you may be restricted. I am not sure as i don't download from the play store.

Yeah I was trying to get movies to download right to ext..ie from browser and what not havent figured that one out yet but I was also referring to an app being moved to ext card and saving data directly to ext card which I did figure out so if you have any input on the browser downloading
You say browser - I use chrome and all downloads go into the download folder in internal storage and you can move to sd card. I am not sure what stock browser does.
Yeah I read the recent update allowed you to install apps to your ext SD but I haven't seen the option to either install there and/or move them. Hmmmm

That update has not USA yet. Only India and Germany I think.
Foldermount is a free app in the play store. Works perfectly. It has you search your Android/data or Android/obb folders and any apps you install from the play store, you can move and mount those directories to your external SD card and it actually works. I have a ton of gameloft games, and everything i mount with this app moves to my 64GB external SD and works perfectly!
First of all, I just created a thread about this but apparently it never posted so if there are multiple threads by me I apologize.
Anyway, I am trying to create a folder in /sdCard that will link to /storage/extSdCard for apps that start in internal sd card but won't let me go up one folder so that I can navigate to external sd card. I did accomplish this on my s2 using directory bind but it doesn't seem to work on my note 3. I'm sorry if this is confusing. I will try to elaborate if needed.

Directory bind is old and no longer supported.
Check out the app "folder mount" in the play store. Worked a charm on my s4 so I'm sure it will be fine on the Note 3 as well.
Sent from my SM-N9005
Has anyone got folder mount to work with the Note 3 yet? I'm running stock MJ7 rooted with Chanfire easy root method, double and triple checked everything. Managed to get the app to move the original data from internal SD to my 64GB Sandisk Class 10 external SD but the link pin will not turn green.
It's driving me mad and I'm on the verge of selling the Note 3 and going back to my S2 (along with the very easy vold.fstab SD card swap mod)!!
Use solid explorer if you want to go up a folder to navigate to external sd. Also note 3 does app2sd so why the need for all this?

App2sd moves the installed app files, not the SD data that many games download in order to play. Some are in excess of 1-2GB and if you have a few installed then your internal SD space soon runs out
Same issue
I created a thread idential to this earlier n however ot realising this one already existed my bad.
Ive had the exact same problem, the closest ive came is with File mount i was able to get Modern combat 4 to work succesfully, but nothing else and i tryed most of the top end games with massive data files.
No ideas why mc4 worked, and real racing 3 worked. All of the other games show up as binding correctly and when i run a check the directorys show as being mounted in the same way as MC4 and real racing 3 however when i run the apk the games cant find the data files and start re downloading.
Hopefully someone works away round this or creates a new programme cause its so restrictive, install the top 10 android games and all your internal memorys completely used up
i used to use apps2sd before directory bind was available but the reality is that its pretty useless now for most modern games,

Either go to setting->apps choose the app you want to move, tap on it, and then tap "move to sd card", or use some app like clean master (it does many other things too)

use this app / WAPKInstallManager...
if you are using a custom rom chances are it supports external and internal storage swap which means external sd will be considered internal , you can do that by either an option in settings/storage/storage config and check use internal as external (or something like that) or you can edit build.prop , for gameloft games you can use gl2sd from play store , you'll be able to move the cache to external sd , you can also use directory bind which binds the path of a folder in external sd to a folder that you choose (android/data/ in your case) , afaik link2sd only installs apks in sd card not game cache (external sd storage is slower so i dont advice you to do that for games ) , i hope i helped u

I searched the web but cant find a clear answer and youtube isnt helping on this topic, will someone please refer me to an app that will give me the capability to move apps and games to my External SD card using T-Mobile note 4 , thank you!
You should be able to do that by using the built-in app manager in settings, but i'm afraid the game data will remain in the internal memory.
You could use Folder Mount (search in Play Store) to move the data to the external SD and make a symlink on the internal memory.
