Does anyone know how to get a usb drive to work with the pixel so i can download netflix and google play movies to it? it seems that no matter how i format the drive, netflix and google play movies does not recognize it as external storage and i can not download to it.
to the best of my knowledge they will only look for internal storage locations for allowing the files to download. I don't think there is a way to split a drive into internal/external that the phone will accept. it has to be one or the other when formated.
Damn. Yeah no matter how I format it as internal or external, netflix only sees internal. Same with Google play movies

What is format of SD Card? What is format of songs. I have a large amount of music on removable SD card and music app sees it all. Try exploring music and select a song on removable card to play. should open player, which might help.
I also have this issue and more..

I have the keyboard and the sd card is using the standard 32bit format. music is in the media folder copied from my hts desire, same as pictures and movies.
All of which work on the desire but are not visable through any of the default installed apps, I have also installed various free apps which again do not show the files.
I can play them seperatly via file explorer and they play properly but do not stay in the history.
Contacted Asus who suggested that I clear the apps cache via settinges/ applications etc.
Tried that several times including reboot before opening apps and no joy.
Also having the issues with google maps downloaded and cached maps. only work on internal memory.
Not rooted yet but depending on these issues will either root or return.
The media services will only recognize internal memory and /mnt/sdcard.
You have to move any music/videos/pictures manually into internal memory or sd card.
The Music app and gallery find the stuff on my Micro SD without a problem.
Hello all I am typing this on my new iconia. The tablet seems to always want to use internal memory for everything (pictures videos etc.)and does not offer app2sd or a way to even navigate to the microsd card without a 3rd party app like astro, so what is the SD card intended for?
It is a little odd there's no mention of it in the default file browser, isn't it?
It's not a primary feature; not when the tablet itself sports 32GB of storage, I guess. It was enough that Android supported it, so they bunged it in just because.
If you've filled up your 32GB I can see how it would be a hassle trying to use the external SD card as easily as you do the internal storage.

You can never have to much storage. I keep my 32gb flash drive and 250gb hard drive close by.

Amen to that!! I've got 2.5Tb storage on my server, 1Tb on this PC, 1Tb on my PS3, about 700 megabytes in removable storage and then some in various gadgets.. and I STILL feel like I'm running out of space all the time!
Well my tablet is a 16gb and is running out of room due to offline maps. I had not really considered that the data would be handled differently than an android phone where the app lives in internal memory and the data was on the SD card.
I've moved all of my video and music to the external SD card; PowerAmp has no issues with the files being there (and has an option to look in any subfolder off /mnt/ to find the files.)
Since most of my music is in WMA format I don't use the default Music player very often and don't know if it's "smart" enough (i.e. been told) to look in a /Music folder on the external card.
Is it possible to save movies that I have purchased on Google Play onto an external storage device, either usb drive or sd card? If so, how. Thanks.
Anyone?

So when I bought a 128 gb sd card. And I format it as internal I can move the apps to SD. But when using Google Play Music saving offline saves to my actual internal not internal SD how do I fix it?
Moto X Pure edition
Android 6.0
I did the same at first, then reformatted sd as external storage and just used play music's native storage selection. I'm a heavy user and the 32gb internal storage is fine if I'm not storing my media there.
Google play music storage selection....

So I have both adopted storage and external storage drives on my Nvidia Shield. When I record a program on 'Live Channels' using the DVR, where does that saved file(s) go? To Adopted/Internal storage, or to External storage? I looked at both drive but I don't see any recordings anywhere (even though I have a few shows recorded). They have to go to a folder somewhere...
I am researching the same thing. Any luck?
