Since MM upgrade I am unable to move or delete files using ES file explorer. Is anyone else experiencing Sd card issues?
Any known fixes?
Yes I'm experiencing the samething. I can't even delete or add files to SD card when I connect to my pc either

I can still do stuff through the computer, it is ES File Explorer specifically that is giving me issues, and I pretty much had to reset all my programs that use the SD card to the new name for the SD card that marshmallow seems to have changed it to...

Hi,
My S4 isn't able to modify the microSD card content.
Neither with the File explorer nor via USB from windows.
I tried formatting, deleting, everything.
It works for the moment, but as soon as I unmount the card and mount it again, all data is as before.
I don't have a pc adapter handy, so I don't know what file format the card has.
It's a Sandisk 64GB.
I can't say if it ever worked, because I probably copied that data that is on there directly at my pc.
It's really strange and hopefully someone has a solution.

Have you tried using something like Root Explorer to check (and change if necessarry) the permissions on your SD card? you want read and write on there.
Has anyone else experienced problems writing files to external SD card just lately? All I know is that the SD card works fine If I use it on the computer with a card reader.
For instance if I copy 300mb of titaniumbackup files it will randomly stop in the process and tell me there is a problem writing the files. This also happens with other files. I can't seem to find anything in the logs either, but then I'm not exactly sure what to look for.
I've tried ES file explorer, the CM11 file explorer and FX file exporer. I've reformatted the SD card using CWM, put it in my card reader on my computer and was able to copy over 40gb of data flawlessly so the card doesn't seem to be corrupt.
I'm not really sure where to start with the troubleshooting, as I said before I'm not sure what I'm looking for in the log files regarding failed file transfers.

If the sdcard is not already formatted with fat32 your best bet is to format it
fat32 and there is an excellent chance that you will be able to use it in your
phone and computer without any further issues.
Here is a direct download link for the windows fat32 formatter:

Good luck!

I switched to slimkat rom to try it out. It's also based on 4.4 and the same kernel as what I had before. I re-formatted the sd card to fat32 at the same time but everything seems to work now. I wonder what it was. Maybe just a kitkat bug with exfat that still needs to be sorted out
Hello. I just found out that export apps to SD card is not working or not as I was expecting. After exporting many apps, I just figured out that on SD card I have almost nothing. For example, I exported hearthstone which has 2gb and even though the apps manager says it is on External storage, the SD card has the same size as before. When I explored the SD card, I found that there are no files in Android folder. Is there something that I'm missing?
Nobody else encountered this problem?

I formated the sdcard but I still have the same problem. I will try with another sd card and then I'll take the phone to service.

Im having problems with the camera and file explorer apps not being able to write to the SD, havent found the solution yet.
I am unable to transfer files from my phone memory to my sd card.
I am also unable to transfer files from my pc to sd card in the phone. I have no issue transferring files from pc to phone memory.
I can view and open files on the sd card and the phone is able to play music and movies stored on the sd card.
Can anyone help me fix this issue?
Thanks!
I don't have such problem at all.
Try different file browsers like ES File Explorer and Astro.
If those do not work, try and factory reset your phone and ask for a replacement if the problem still persists after that.

Does the phone read the sd card? Do you have anything on it to access? If not I would suggest formatting the sd card.

The phone reads all the files on the sd card. I get an error that says Access denied when i copy a file from the phone memory to any folder on the SD card...however I get no error when I copy the files to the root SD card. It's weird...not sure whats going on.
You need to use the stock file manager to copy to the sd card or from the sd to internal as this is a "security feature" since Android lollipop. If you wish to use any other file explorer you MUST be rooted...

I use ES File Explorer and it works - and I won't root until ZTE posts full factory roms for the US version.
I still think there is some issue with the sd card that can be solved by formatting it - if the phone won't move files to it and the pc recognizes the phone but not the sd card how did you get files on it in the first place?

Not true. I just used Solid Explorer to copy files from internal memory to the SD card. There was an extra procedure of selecting the sd card in what looks like the stock storage selection menu thing (that also has Drive, Downloads etc) which was apparently necessary for Solid Explorer to get the necessary permission. Maybe it doesn't work with old file explorer apps that haven't implemented this solution, but it definitely works with Solid Explorer without root.
After recent April update, I am unable to copy any files from internal storage to SD card. I tried numerous file managers but none work. Any solution. Thanks in advance!

I don't see a problem on my phone which is also on the latest stock rom. Just copied a file from DCIM to the sdcard without any issues.
No issue on my phone for transfer file from internal to SD card. The April update seems to solved the issue with file transfer.
