Wondering if it is possible to move files I currently have saved on an old SD card into the internal memory on the phone temporarily... to then move them off internal memory back to my normal SD card.
I'd like to accomplish this just using my phone and with out using a computer to transfer files, is it possible?
Yes, it is.
How so? Can you please provide further instruction?

Hi !
You can easely do that, providing your device is rooted, with either Root Explorer or ES Explorer... pushing files from SDcard to system.
Cheers !

Make sure you have enough space to accommodate all the files in /sdcard (e.g. df /data). You can use file explorer such as ES File Explorer to copy the files to internal storage. If you have non-rooted phone, you can copy to /data/local/tmp.

Remove stock notification, alarm and ringtone files, and replace them with my own. To me that would be neat.

use any file manager which has root rights such as es file explorer
then you can copy/paste whatever you want from sdcard to internal storage
thanks

I had a android file explorer that when you installed an apk from the sd card it gave you an option to install to internal or external. Does anyone know of the app or any app that does this? thanks.
i dont know anay file explorer that can do that, but if you are using gingerbread you can just go to settings and apps and then move to the sd, otherwise of course just with app2sd
there is a way where you can make apps install by default on sd card,one way is you can use apps2sd application to move apps from internal memory to sd card
another easy way is rather than moving, just install it on sdcard itself

I want to move a folder to the micro sd card...and then link the original folder to it...to save space...
how is this done? i cant find it on the web and with EZ file explorer.
Maybe another solution?
thanks!
Why dont you just cut the original folder from the internal sd card and then paste onto your external sd card.
You dont need to keep the original folder on the internal sd card.

Because apps like gameloft have their data stored on the internal storage. Moving that data will not make gameloft's games search for a new location...

Unpatched games do,but if you patch the game like the post i showed you on the other thread,then the game will run with the data stored on the external sd card.
If you still dont understand,i can do a step by step instruction on how to run a gameloft game with the data stored on the external sd card.

Why do the phone recognize my internal storage as sdcard0? This tends to lead to some problems when locating files in recovery.
Is there a way to make sure extraneous files, such as downloads, stay only on the sd card under sdcard?
Sometimes when placing a file on the sdcard from USB-to-PC connection, I navigated to the root folder using a file explorer, and tap sdcard, only to find it's not there. Instead of I have to home-->storage-->sdcard1.
Can anyone explain what exactly is going on in this case?? Or if anyone found a way to consolidate the folders, how can I do it??
Thank you.

The storage isn't extended, it's two separate file spaces. Your internal memory is reported as an internal SD card (sdcard0) and your SD Card is reported as an external SD (sdcard1)

If you download the Motorola USB Device Manager then in my computer your device will be recognised with internal and external storage available, all folders under these will be clearly visable and you shouldn't have any issues transferring data between the two.
Cheers
I have that manager and it works well, but I would like the folder "sdcard" in the home to link me to the sdcard1 and not sdcard0. Right now the "symlink" in root browser points there. Anyway to change that?
I cant write to the SD card.
I use ES File Explorer and I have created a folder on the SD using this app. I also permission and it is writeable.
So I ftp to that SD and it doesnt work.
I can ftp to my phone memory.
Then I copy the files to the SD and that doesnt work too.
I have format this SD using this phone.
Do you have this problem?
Having very similar issues but I thought that was because I encrypted my card. I can create a file in the root folder of the SD Card with Solid Explorer, but I can't delete it. The Samsung stock file manager works fine and can create/delete/move files anywhere, both internal and on SD.
I think those who get the phones early are beta testers for Samsung. We should be paid for reporting problems. I found 3 bugs already.
There is a half solution to this. I FTP using ES File Explorer to my phone storage, then move the files to the SD card storage using Samsung MyFiles.
It might be a ES File Explorer problem? Anyone knows?
Its marshmallow. Starting in 6.0 they changed the way sd cards have r/w access. Its a security thing. Dunno much about it. I say search it.

Hello. I was infromed about bug on my own project with sd card in S7 but I do not have one. Can you provide me some info so I can fix a bug in my app?
From your computer is you have adb, sdcard must be inserted.
Code:
adb shell ls /storage
or
From Terminal app on your device
Code:
ls /storage
Thank you in advance.

That's not going to work. GS7 is naming everyone's external SD card something different. For example, "D412-3A9A".
You have to go through the right APIv23 calls for prompting the user for SD card access.

Hello all,
I keep getting a message on my phone about my SD card being damaged and needs replacing. I bought a new SD card, so I was wondering if people knew of a seamless way to backup/directly transfer to the new SD card? An app.? Using my PC? Any help is appreciated.
I have always copied the old card's contents to a folder in my PC, then from the PC to the new card.

How do you go about the specific folders documents/pictures/app. data needs to go in? Any tips?
I've never had any issues just copying and pasting the folders and other contents as they are. Make sure you have your file explorer set to show hidden files and folders.

Thank you. Forgot when connecting my phone I can use HiSuite. Seems my SD card only has pictures, so should be a breeze to simply transfer those.
