That's real odd that your external sd is completely empty... But you should set your camera to add pictures to external then move your existing pics to there. Then there's the obvious"remove all the bloat". Check the thread on that...

Yeah I removed all the bloat. I'll move all my pics but that shouldn't be close to 500 mbs

Run a clean master scan as well. Clear some cache

How is this storage situation possible?

The math doesn't seem to add up to me but there could be more to it than I just don't see. Does anybody know why I don't have more free space?

backup your stuff manually and do a complete wipe. I lost some 3GB of storage space somehow but a wipe cleared that up. Loaded the same stuff back on and it was 3GB less than before.
I don't think the storage factors in the system or data partitions, which do count towards your total storage space. Try downloading an app called storage analyser. It gives pretty robust information on all partitions.

Cannot view certain folders with Android File Transfer

Hi guys, trying to get my apps backed up so I can flash a ROM, when I use Rom Toolbox and browse it says I should have an App_Backup folder in my emulated storage folder, but I don't see it, and I cannot go to the root / folder either, does anybody know how to fix this? Thanks.

Here. On your device's internal sd card. It won't show up until you back up an app using the app mgr.
Accurate MTP usage depends on having an up to date index of all files. You can run a program to force the index to be rebuilt. I used SDrescan with success.

Google Camera | Save to EXT SD?

I was wondering if anyone here knew a way to change the save directory of any of the many Google Camera's
Having a lot of problems with Samsung Camera so I prefer this one

However the only problem I have with this Camera is it only saves to Internal memory by default and can't seem to find a way to change that so I can save every picture I take to my External SD Card.
I'm currently using the Omega ROM V3.0 and using the Google Camera that is optional in the Aroma Installer and have frozen the stock Samsung Camera.

My numbers doesn't add up here. Alot of storage has just gone missing.
This morning, my time, i got tored of the low low storage space message and decided to remove the downloaded files from spotify through the delete cache and data option. The phone told me that I had ~4 GB of storage in that app. After removing it. the only thing that shifted was that the ~4 GB of storage it used no longer is alocated to it, but the storage didn't decide go free either, it just disappeared.
Are there any fast solutions or good places i could start looking for the files i need to delete to free the storage? I've tried using search in total commander and couldn't find any spotify folder that looked susoicious and big.
The phone is rooted so there really arnät any options I cant try, so please, brainstorm away

marshmallow on z2 stock sd card

Isn't there a way to move apps to sd? I can't find an option to move to sd cards in the application settings
Anyone experiencing the danger issues
I think you can only move apps that were allowed to move in Lollipop. Go to the app, hit Storage, then, if there, Change.
