Hi,
I'm planning to upgrade my SD card from 64GB to 128GB.
I see that Android/data folder is full of app folders. I didn't install anything specifically to SD card.
Should I ignore all those app folders or is there a way (or a need) to copy everything to new card?
Thanks!
how can we use the sdcard when installing games with obb files?..mine's running marshmallow..thanks!

I want to upgrade to a bigger memory card, but most of my games and apps are installed to the memory card. Would I just plug in up to my computer and copy all the folders over? Or move the apps to my phone, switch cards and then move them to the new memory card?
and would I still keep all my app settings and game save files?
Just copy one card to the next it will work just the same

Yup, just done this - replaced the 8GB card that came with my handset with a 32GB one.....plugged both cards into my PC and copied all contents from 8GB to 32GB then chucked it in the phone - simples
Make sure you copy hidden folders too, and android.secure, thats the folder with apps you've moved to SD card
what about if i have sd card partition? i have 16gb and planning to upgrade to 32.. but i have 1gb partition because of link2sd, but my pc cannot detect that partition, what would i do?
Ude a position manager e.g. easeus to copy hidden partitions

I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 GTi9505 and I noticed something very odd and very confusing.
On my HTC Desire phone, I use ES File Explorer and it only has SD Card and of course the System files.
But, on the S4, it has two directories for the SD card which are: ExternalSD and SD Card
My personal data like my photos and documents are under the ExternalSD rather than under SD Card.
I noticed this on Airdroid app first and then on ES File Explorer.
So when saving my personal date onto my phone and whenever I buy a new phone in the future, all should be on the External SD card instead of the SD Card in case I have to swap those personal files and data onto that new phone???
See attached photo screen from Airdroid, and this is using my S4 phone. So you see, it has two SD cards. One External SD and the other SD Card.
So if I want to SAVE or BACKUP my personal data andmy photos, should I store them under the ExternalSD folder?
Thanks

Sdcard is internal sdcard (non-removable) extSdCard is external sdcard (removable). So you store all your music, photos (can set the camera to save it to external) videos and documents to external card and you can later put that card into another device. Internal sdcard is mostly for application and game datas, currently, if your not rooted, you can't move those giant games and etc to external card. The new firmware can only move the application itself to external card but not game data.
I just installed NFS Most Wanted on my S4 and it is 1.88Gb
It tells me SD card data 1.85gb but that is on the actual internal memory.
If I actually move the data folder from the Android folder in main memory to the Android folder on the sd card the games can't find the files and downloads them again.
WTH does it think internal memory is SD card and not my actual 64gb sd card?
Really starting to get annoyed at these retarded limitations google are putting on android.
Folder Mount is what you need from the play store. Check it out.

Perfect. That does the trick. Have tried DirectoryBind but that didn't work.
Hi.
I fixed the SD card, but if i install a game and place the data files in the correct place in the SD card, the game want to re-download the files to the mobile.
Can i fix this somehow? The game doesn't care about the data in the SD card.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount&hl=en this app can link the data folder in your sd card with your application
Any app available which lock the folder ? on sd card. I can't want to use sd card encryption. I want a app which lock the folder ? on sd card or internal storage. If available then send the link.
