I've been troubleshooting this on my own for about a week now... When you open up ES and click on the folder above the icons, you get a drop down menu with your SD card directory which links to the emulated/0 folder, and the extSdCard that links to the storage/extSdCard... My problem is that when Foldermount is done mounting its stuff, and displays "removing content from gallery", ES then thinks that my external storage folder is com.crescentmoongames.aralon... Any idea on how to make ES remember where the actual external directory should be?

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 am encountering an issue, for which I have been researching all day with no resolve. Galaxy Note 3.
The issue is that I cannot copy or move files INTO the internal memory.
With Root Explorer, I can read/write/edit files in /system (which verifies root), I can even create a directory, delete directory, or rename in /sdcard, I just cannot copy or move files into /sdcard.
When I connect the phone to a computer, I *can* move files from external SD into "phone" (internal storage/sdcard).
Oddly, Root Browser *can* copy files from ext-sd to int-sd (Root Browser seems to invoke SU just to copy files from ext-sd into /sdcard).
Root Explorer, FX, ES cannot. They all have root privileges and have been uninstalled/reinstalled.
I have other phones with exact same configs, but never had this problem.
Any idea on the cause?

Can you move your apps to SD card???
you can try backing up your SD card data to your pc and formatting it in Fat32..
I am having the same issue! It apparently happened after i did a nandroid restore to stock from CM11. I realized this when certain apps stopped working such as GTA San Andreas (could not save game anymore), and Torrent downloaders (Could not save .torrent files to hpone anymore errors). I dont understand what the issue maybe? does CM11 corrupt Internal storage? im formatting both internal storage and reinstalling my rom to see what happens. hopefully this fixes the problem!
EDIT: Looks like that solved the issue! Im not sure though if me formatting the internal storage helped or reinstalling the whole rom helped. Hope this helps others!
Hi. I try to explain this briefly and informative so you can help me out. I transferred a huge amount of files (video, music, pictures and apks) via zapya from my old xperia m dual to xperia m2 aqua. After moving files I just found out the files do not get automatically in Album, Movies and .... apps and just remains in Zapya and you can view them only there (So noone else faced such problem?!) But the main problem is, I just finded files and moved them with ES File Explorer File Manager, this is what happend >>>
I accidentally moved files to wrong section (storage/emulated/0) which I guess is systemic path. So the phone began to alerting me with love storage space and when I tried to move files to SD card (with same method i moved them to wrong path), It says the phone needs to be rooted for moving files. Now the files can not be deleted, copied, cut or modified as I guess the phone consider them as systemic files and phone internal storage became full.
I just don't want to root this new phone (at least now, or even root and unroot again), so please help me what to do without rooting (I consider root/unroot as my last hope).
What is the version of android you use ?
If I remember correctly in Android 4.4 KitKat without root you can copy, move files as follows:
Internal memory -> external sd card.
External sd card <-> cloud storage.
You can only copy, move in this direction, but not back:
Internal memory -> external sd card.
Cloud storage -> external sd card.
Also you can't rename or delete folders on external sd card.
You can fix this inconvenience only if you're rooted.
You need to add add <group gid="media_rw" /> in file /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml .
Root
I am concluding that only rooting can make it possible, but waiting for more responses maybe something happen! Now looking for a safe half root method.
Try with File Commander that came with phone as preinstalled system app. You can't use ES File Explorer to edit files on external SD card as KK restriction because it's user application, only system apps can do that.
@AleksJ
Sorry man, but you are so wrong, you can edit external SD card content only with system (non-user) apps and that's KK restriction. So I got this File Commander app preinstalled and I had used it until I rooted my phone. Now Solid Explorer is the best...
Go to Settings/Memory (I think). There is an option to move images/video/music files and maybe other content from/to the internal memory and the SD Card. It also has an option to wipe the cache files (not the directory /cache which is another thing).
Rooted, kitkat 4.4.4.
I like to backup my entire nexus 5 to a large external sdcard using ES file explorer and stickmount pro. After an initial copy of all files it would be nice if I could copy "only changed or new files". Is there some way to modify the copy command to do that? Either in ES Explorer or Root Explorer or something else?
Edit:
1 spoke too soon. The 32gb sdcard is formatted fat32 and although I can copy files from the phone to it my backup failed when I tried to copy large files. I get an error message saying that there isn't enough space which is nonsense because the external sdcard is almost empty! Not sure why. Any help appreciated.
Am I really the only one who has errors when copy pasting large files in android?
Please advise if you can.
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
