Is there a way to move pictures and movies to the SD card in 3.2?
Root explorer (with super user permissions) and directly from your computer via USB are the only options

If you are rooted, you can copy and paste using a root utility like file explorer. "Move" doesn't work (I guess it's an android/linux thing????)
that sucks
Just want to ask, because I can't find some folders when I connect my phone to the PC, like the screenshot folder or obb files in my internal memory, however when I'm using file commander it's there.
Hallo.
when i connect my device to my computer the DCIM folder appers empty. But when i browse it with the built in file explorer on the phone its full of pictures/movies ??
Best regards
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 on Lollipop. When I connect the phone to the PC it shows two storage's, Phone and Card. According to root explorer, the phone storage directory is /storage/emulated/0 . I need to access the /system folder which is located at the root of my phone but the root of my phone won't show up on my PC. I just want to Deodex my phone but the deodexer software requires the system folder.
Because the user partition(sdcard/internal storage) and your extsdcard are the only things that can be accessed via PC file manager. If you want to manipulate system you'll have to use a different method.
You can use the device itself to copy the system folder to internal or external and then you can transfer it to PC.
I have added an SD card for a friend's G7 Power, however, now when I plug it into the computer and select file transfer, it only shows the SD card and he has some photos in the internal storage that we can't get it out of the phone (they are sitll visible on the Photo app). I found an older thread with similar issue on a Moto G4. The answer at the time was this is an known issue and there's no fix yet. Is this fixed on the G7 Power? Thanks.
I don't have this phone but a way I would try is opening up the gallery app and then looking at the photos details and see if it gives a location
I would then connect phone to PC and do an adb pull of the file/folder
Eg adb pull location of file
Google adb guldes if you have never used adb before & you need to download the adb files
You can also try using total commander file browser and going to the file system root directory and then selecting storage folder
It will then list the available storage folders but if sd card is mounted as Internal storage it might combine the internal storage and sd card into one virtual directory

I tried opening the photos in the Google Photo app, it doesn't show the files' location. I'll try it with the the OnePlus gallery app next time he brings over the phone.
As for using total commander, does it work if his phone is not rooted? With ES Files explorer I can only see the SD card folders.

Most photo apps should tell you the photo location on the device in its details or more information section if you long press the image
You don't need root access to access the root directory
You can probably do it with es file explorer too but I don't use it
You just need to keep going up a level until you reach the root location - with total commander there's a folder on the main menu for root directory
You only need root to access the data partition or to modify files in the root or system partition
All you need is access the storage folder which will then list all available drives be that physical or virtual
