hi all
couldent find a way to copy pics from sd card to phone memory in order to free space on sd. any suggestions?
thx
To me able to move things to the root folder (internal storage) you will need an app that can mount the root folder as r/w (read/write) and then copy and paste the relevant files. To be able to do that though, you going to need to be rooted and have use an app such as Root Explorer to move it to the root folder.

I just got this external SD card installed, but I can't figure out how to move media files off my internal onto my external within the phone (Astro).
I saw the external SD folder under the SD card, but I couldn't move files to it within the phone. I ultimately plugged in Mass Storage and I saw two different external drives and I moved it that way. That took a long time to move 7 gbs.
Any other way to do it?
Use my files that is right there in apps built in long press on the file or folder you want. There are other apps on the market that work but that is there.

Astro doesn't allow me to move them from internal to external either. Never has. I just use root explorer or file manager. I assume its something to do with permissions but I never cared enough to look into it.

Root is when you open the SD card... Not in any folders.

Already been stated^^^^ but yes the Root of the SD card is simply the portion of the SD that is not categorized by any folder. It can be referred to as the Main Directory, any folder which is placed within the root is a sub folder.
Root would be /
and root of sdcard would be /mnt/sdcard
Im on android 4.4 kitkat and i was not able to modify files on internal storage...So i used a app called 'SD Fixer for Kitkat' and after that my problem solved. But now im not able to copy file to root or /system from sd card or phone memory,while im having root excess for all.
I need to find out how to move files to my external sd card
Hi there,
Just use a file Explorer on the phone like ES File Explorer or Solid Explorer (and many more) and copy the files from Internal to external. Or connect to your PC and do what you want to do.
Good luck
I'm using marshmallow 6.0.1
I think from 5.0 lollipop moving files in external sd android/data folder is not possible. Files created by apps, mostly received from wifi sharing are stored inside android/data/<app folder> by few apps. These files cannot be directly moved to any root directory of external sd. When moving it's copying and deleting those files, like moving to another drive even thought it's the same drive .
This makes a particular problem when the external sd storage is low. For an example in order to move a 2GB file from external_sd/android/data/<app folder> to external_sd/Movies system required additional 2GB, it copies the file and then deletes the source file. So moving is not possible if the free space is below 2GB .
Internal sd android/data folder doesn't have this issue, moving files is direct and quick(without copying and deleting).
I'm guessing it's because of the owner permissions of the android/data folders and root folders . Is there any workaround to make files move without copy-moving from external_sd/android/data folder to external_sd/<any folder other than android> without root .
