I have a galaxy s8 and it has the "samsung notes" app and I do a tone of notes and voice recording with the app..... now is there any way of saving those recordings to the computer or micro sd card? it's just I have no inturnal storage left as 80% of it is taken up by samsung notes files. I can't find where they are stored.
Cheers for you help guys!!

I don't have this device nor use that app but, the following links should be helpful for what you are looking for.

UNLESS asked to do so, PLEASE don't PM me regarding support. Sent using The ClaRetoX Forum App on my SM-G900T device.
Unfortunately it didn’t help but thankyou so much!!!. As far as I know the files are stored somewhere on the phone storage as it has taken up over 25Gb already preventing me from doing a lot of things as the phone storage is 100% full.
I need to locate these files not only to free up memory but so I can edit them in my audio editor as they are recordings of live forums for work.

Hey guys,
Recent iOS convert and still figuring out a lot about my atrix and android in general.
Would someone be willing to give me a rundown on how media and apps are stored?
Specifically, where are Market and non market apps stored on the atrix? Can I control the download location through settings?
The same for music and video? I've been dragging and dropping media to intetnal storage but it appears on my 8 gig SD?
Same goes for beyondpod. Can't figure out the storage path.
A little confused.
Thanks for the help. This is a heck of a community!

First, the "sdcard" is your internal storage. An actual sdcard will be referred to as external or sdcardext, or something like that. You can place music and pics pretty much on either one and the music player and gallery will find it. As for apps, you can download them and most will end up in non-accessible internal memory but you can go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications and select the app and you might or might not have a choice to move to "Phone" or "media Area". The media area will be the external card.
Live is correct, you can put anything on either SD or ExtSD and it will be found. As for the apps they download to /system/apps in the Internal phone storage, unless you do the above and move them to the SD card. To be honest though you've got a ton of storage on the internal phone storage for apps so unless you have like 500+ apps it won't be an issue. As far as how the internal SD is organized basically the Internal phone storage and internal SD are the same thing, the internal phone storage is just partitioned off to be used for the OS and app storage and you see the remainder as usable SD internal storage.
Thanks for the information guys, much appreciated.
Suddenly my note gave me an error message that my sd card is being used as mass storage & so data cannot be accessed. Well rebooted the phone to discover alot of files do not exist! Deleted?!!!?
Seems all deletes files are data files related to applications on the phone memory itself but not the applications or its settings!
Note: All files on the movable 16GB memory card are not deletes.
Examples for the files have been deleted:
Recently captured pics & vids.
Scanned documents by Camscanner application.
Scanned business cards by Camcard application.
SMemo files but not the folder structure I created.
SPB Wallet source file.
All WhatsApp downloaded pics was available in WhatsApp pictures folder.
All downloaded books to Kobo book & Mantano reader.
Please help as I am getting crazy with the amount of data I lost suddenly especially that I do not have any explanation to what has happened to my phone in order avoid it again in future!

Well I have a quick question. After updating to the new JB build, I noticed that under the settings tab then storage, there is no longer then option to quickly transfer files from internal storage to SD card.
Does anyone know if there is another way to do this? Other than using a file manager, this feature will definitely be missed. I found it very useful to quickly move pictures,music, etc. without having to copy-paste in a file manager.
Or, does anyone know of an app that can mimic this?

Dyelon,
I read through the linked thread but what I was looking for was to move personal data (such as pictures, music, downloaded content from browser) from the phones internal memory to the SD card quickly, not so much as moving app to SD. In ICS under settings > memory there was the option to manage internal storage and move items quickly:
(http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=63946) Look towards the bottom of this page.
Seems like after the update to JB its no longer an option.
But on a related note, thanks for the info on apps to sd!

This has been bugging the heck out of me! Hoping someone knows something I don't. I love the manage internal storage feature in ICS
The Link2SD method posted didn't work for my Razr M after trying many different times.
When I download files they are stored automatically to the internal storage, is there a way to download files to my external SD card automatically?
Haven't received my phone yet so I can't answer your question directly but you could use Redirect (Pro) from Play Store to move and sort them after they are downloaded

The SD card is NOT for read/write access in this phone. Its solely for pics you may already have on the card and or stored music. Once you put the sd card in the phone allows you to save any new pics and videos to SD card. Unless you root, you cannot use the sd card the way you're trying to use it.

Not quite true, speaking for the global model, go into settings , then applications followed by application manager, tap on the application you want to move, then tap on storage and finally you will see the change dialogue. This will give you the option to move to sd
Sorry im only speaking of the us model with snapdragon 820.

Hmmm, thanks for the awnsers, I have Exynos btw, yeah moving apps is an option but might slow down the performance.
I actually mean downloading files from internet, onedrive etc. everytime I download documents and images I have to move them manually to my SD card.�� That's a pity, but I have to deal with it or use a third party app.
I'm using the Canadian carriers snapdragon 820 and can move some, not all app data to sd card.
Settings, storage, used, apps.
For the most part the larger apps will allow me to move data to sd card

Yeah, I might try that, I have a fast SD (Samsung pro +) and I see no need to remove my SD card.
Samsung block the activation of adoptable storage on galaxy s8/s8+ (Android 7.0 Nougat) ?
Hope so. Adoptable Storage is working fine in S7 with Android 7.0.

Just out of curiosity why would you need it? SD cards slow down the performance of apps when using adorable storage and this device has 64gb of storage. All you need is a card to store your pics and media on then you'll have plenty of space for apps.
Exactly. There is no need. It would be so sluggish and a waste of the 64gb.
Would it be beneficial to store, let's say, downloaded music from Google Play and Spotify? One of the main reasons I'm upgrading is because my 6P only has 32gb and most of it is downloaded music.
Edit: Nevermind, just found the in-app setting for save location.
You can force install's to the sdcard in nougat, the option is in developer options in the s7 so most likely in the s8 too.

Due to write limitations on SD card. Not all applications will be able to use it (require special coding). It is an Android limitation (Android 5.0 and above)
In my case, I sync my files with my PC with an app called Syncme. Syncme can not write on SD card. Folder Sync will do the job but is very very slow (200 KB/s compared with 2-3 MB/s using Syncme). I sync a lot of files, around 140 GB (docs, video, audio,...) So speed syncing is important for me.
With adoptable storage you can choose where your apps will be installed (internal or external storage). So no issue with performance.

That's not true. The internal storage used on the S8 is faster than any micro SD card currently.
All media and documents can be installed on a micro sd card without the need to convert it to adoptable storage. If your app doesn't allow moving to SD then find another option.
Obviously it's your call if you don't mind a slightly slower phone.

Read my post again: with adoptable storage you can choose where your apps will be stored: internal or sd. Sure internal memory is faster: I would prefiere 256 gb of internal storage. Micro SD is.....a solution for cheap smartphones in my opinion.
You do not like adoptable storage? No problem. Don't use it. My concern is that if Google implemented that option in Android why Samsung (and others) do actively disable it. I would prefer to be able to choose by myself.

flash TWRP
root (may not be required, check!!)
apply patch from [PATCH]**Adoptable storage enabler** MARSHMALLOW
use standard adb method:
adb shell
sm list-disks
Take note of your device ID (disk: xxx,x)
sm partition disk:xxx,x private

This isnt necessary. As someone above said, at the bottom of developer options there is a slide you can turn on for it. So any app regardless it's allowed in manifest or not, can be written to external

I tried to move option bit the majority of the app still won't move. Would prefer adoptable. Does rooting allow for complete moving?

Although this is correct, but an app like Whatsapp will never save received images, videos, ..etc. to external storage. Email apps also won't do that.
The only way is to activate adoptable storage.
Most people do not need this, but some needs it.

Given these phones have an emulated SD card, whatsapp should save to that unless I'm mistaken? Saving pics and videos to any other partition that doesn't have excess space doesn't sound feasible
So I tried switching ON the slider on the bottom of developer options but it did not help, every game i downloaded of the play store installs in the internal memory
Using the Samsung Pro+ 128GB microsd card and A1 Bench is giving me around 30-40Mbps write

You can move apps to the sd card in the apps menu but it just normally moves the app and not the data.
Yes, but I did not find it reliable on samsung devices. So I went to Apps2sd.
