Have been using the Adoptable Storage feature for a while however I have suddenly reached the dreaded Internal Storage space running out message
As you can see I have 16Gb Internal Storage and a 128Gb SD Card which I have partitioned half of that as Adopted Storage and the other half as Portable Storage

Since my SD Card Adopted has plenty of available space (approx. 50.72GB) where as the Internal Storage has only (750MB) I was expecting that Android would continue using the Adopted storage.
Thinking I had to manually move some of the contents from Internal into Adopted I decided to use the Migrate data
The prompt told me that after the export was completed it would result in freeing up 3.69GB in my device storage.
I'd assume this meant my Internal Storage would gain extra space but instead it was being filled up.
After reading this post from another forum it suggests that the Migrate data does the opposite ie transfer from Adopted back to Internal. Is that right??
From the first image where you see SD card Adopted has 9.11GB used, when you drill down it tells me 13.28GB is used
Then if I choose one of the apps from drilling down Used space eg Word it says its stored in external storage device
When you press Change to have a look it says its in SD card not SD card Adopted.
This makes no sense as I had previously transferred it to Adopted. And when I select Adopted on this screen it still stays as SD Card.
So is this how it is for others?

I flashed the zip containing the V300A Lollipop ROM based on the official Korean release. I found something suspicious about the free space, I was expecting a lot more free space to be available in the internal memory than on Kitkat since I moved some apps to the SD card. I have only about 2 GB free space reported by the system. If I use a file manager like Total Commander and try to get the amount of space occupied by all the folders in the internal memory, I get about 3 GB of space that should be occupied. I see something funny in the Misc section, as there are 4.65 GB of space occupied by System Data that I can't remove. I suspect that Android does a poor job on mounting the obb and data directories from the SD card and that it reports the space as being occupied twice. Can you share your situation?
Edit: I may have misinterpreted the data that the interface is showing, but I based some of my observations on what KitKat interface was showing me. It still does not explain why summing up the size of the folders does not add up to the occupied size of the internal memory.

I know and I think I understand why. There are 12 GB of internal space left for the user, this space is occupied by apps. I noticed that after a reset the space available to the user on Lollipop is around 7 GB, right after reset. It is too little for me. I had the impression that on KitKat it was more, but it is about the same.

How to configure adoptable storage on your S7 / S7 Edge
If you read some threads on XDA you will have seen that a feature that lets you use the microSD card just like internal storage, is missing. The S7s do include a feature where you can move apps to SD card, but it's not quite the same as on other mobiles from Samsung. You have to enable this feature via ADB.
Instructions:
Backup all data on your phone and on your micro SD. Your Micro SD will be wiped during the process! Save all data to your PC.
Now think about, how much space do you want to split on your micro SD. You can give the whole SD card or only one part.
Now install ADB on your PC and enable USB-Debugging in Developer Options of your Samsung Galaxy S7.
Type adb shell
Type sm list-disks to see all disk, which you can split.
Look which ID your micro SD have: disk:179:160
Now mount your sdcard with this command sm partition disk:179:160 private (use your disk ID)
If you want to use only one part (50%) of your Micro SD use this: sm partition disk:178:160 mixed 50
Move Apps to SD Card:
Go to Settings> Advanced Settings>Storage and you will be able to see advanced storage.
Disclaimer:
I am not responsible for dead sd-cards or dead phones.
You should use a fast sd-card. Otherwise youer Galaxy S7 will become slow.

Enable adoptable storage on your s7

Hi
Is it possible to fully move installed apps to external SD card on Marshmallow ROM? In the past I was using Directory Bind app to do it and it was working ok but on Marshmallow its not working. Is there any solution to do that? I have read about Adaptive Storage feature being implemented on Marshmallow android but I dont see that option on my phone (under Settings-Storage). Is there a way to turn it on somehow? Or if not is another way to do it? I also heard about creating two partitions (fat and ext) on external SD card and using app like Link2SD but is it confirmed working? Whats the best way to do it?
Looks like you can go into each individual app from Application Manager, then go to Storage, and it gives the option to move the app to the External card
Nothing to do this for all apps that I can see though

Using built-in Application Manager doesnt move the WHOLE app and its files to external SD card. Some files stays in internal memory, usually the heaviest ones in obb folder. Tried to do that before moving some games this way but for example Hearthstone game despite being moved to external SD card stil keeps 800MB in internal memory. I want to move all that data to extSDcard.
well...
any luck of extending internal memory?

I read the other threads re: SD card problems but most of them suggest formatting. My DT2 won't even read my installed SD card now and there are important files on it. It's a 64gb sandisk. I've tried an 8gb and a different 64gb card and they read just fine. The broken SD card reads fine in the computer. I was using it as adoptable storage and it was working great. One morning I woke up and it had asked me to insert the SD card or forget it. Before I do anything, I want to know if my videos are at all recoverable. This happened the morning after I took a lot of video and I hadn't had a chance to connect to wifi for long enough to back up the videos. Is there any way to recover my data before I format it or switch to a different card altogether?
Maybe if you insert into pc and use some recovery tool.

Would it restore everything? Currently when I plug it into my PC, I can open it just like any other removable storage and see what's inside. However, most of the folders are empty, including DCIM. I have enabled hidden folders so that's out. I'll try making a direct copy to my new SD card and see if that works out.
Update: tried making a copy of the SD card to my PC. I got this

and besides the file structure, not much was able to be copied.

No, you cannot copy using regular os/apps. Find data recovery tool. There are some specialized for recovering data from flash memories. Just don't write anything on the card before.

I hope this will be a simple solution. It appears that I am using nearly all of my 20.9 GB of Internal Storage available on my LG G6 (VS988 Rev.1.0 with Verizon). When I connect my phone to my PC and open the properties for the internal storage, the windows explorer shows 20.6 GB are used out of 20.9 available.

However, when I select all the files and folders in my internal storage, it shows that there are only 9.46 GB worth of files in my Internal Storage. This means that there are 11.14 GB of storage that is unaccounted for. Note that I also downloaded a disk analyzer on my phone and it also shows a similar file usage (it has total occupied drive space at 21.64 GB but shows my drive usage at 10.16 GB).
I have my computer set to show hidden files. Are there additional hidden files that I don't have the ability to see? Is it possible that I have a virus that is hidden from my file explorer? I was under the impression that I have 32 GB of storage space, and that ~10 GB of that storage is used for system files, leaving me with the 20.9 GB shown. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
I've included screenshots of my phone's data analyzer below.
Thanks!
I use a great app to find out where my spaces are being consumed - "windirstat" (windirstat.net). There is a portable app somewhere if you don't want to install it on your pc. Gives a nice breakdown visually where the biggest files are. May help you
If you have root you can also use SD Maid apk.
There is a storage analyzer where you can browse folders sorted by size.
Or try to use more functions in there: duplicates, corpse finder etc.
