Hard to say as I don't have your device.
Usually you need a file explorer (there are some nice in Play store), which has at least read access on internal sd card and write access on the external sd card.
Then you can copy files. For moving files, you need write access on the internal sd card too ... and depending on the location of the files, maybe root access.
If root is needed, keep in mind that in most file explorer apps, you have to enable root options explicitly and remount the system partitions for R/W (read and write access).
Here is a thread about your device on xda: [GUIDE] Lenovo S650 running VIBEUI v1.5 KitKat (4.4.2).
Thread closed. Thank you.

Hello Everyone,
I bought Samsung galaxy R (I 9103) some 10 days back. I am staying in India.I am trying to install application files directly to the external memory card but i am not able to find any option for that. The strange thing is that, the phone is using its 4gb (internal) usable memory as the SD card storage, so every time i use the option "Move to SD card" it simply moves the file to the phones USB storage. Also the memory card is shown as folder "External_SD" but no option for installing into that folder also. What i do every time is just copy the installation files from the usb storage to the memory card and use it. But this thing is also not working for every application. Can anyone provide any solution to this problem??
Thanks in Advance.....
1. Change /etc/vold.fstab file
you need ROOT access
change file in some other location with text editor or find one already fixed
replace existing file with root explorer or adb shell
reboot
2. Make a linux partition (ext4) on external SD - that could be used for link2sd or app2sd apps
and use google search - all answers already there

I think rooting the device will void the warranty and as i have bought this phone recently only so i am quite reluctant of doing that. Anyways thanks for your post...

Yes, kitkat has a "strange" access rights management. No write access for user installed apps for the external sd card.
You can read about it here: Fix Your SDCard Issue On KitKat.
If your device is rooted, you can "fix" it like described here: [APP][4.4][ROOT] SDFix: Modify device permissions to allow apps to write to MicroSD.
As long as your device is not rooted, it's a little bit more complex. You have to use a system app ... maybe the stock file explorer will work.
If this doesn't work either, check that the sd card is not "locked" accidentcially.
Can you unmount and remount the sd card in Settings > Storage > ... ?
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).
How to format the sd card. We can access the data from here. But I am not able to write data to my external sd card. It says premission denied. I have rooted my Asus zenfone 5(kitkat). Using file explorer, when I delete the android_secure folder, it works for sometimes.Again that folder appears and write permission denied. I have tried so many methods to format it but not succeded. The apps available on sd card is no longer in use. Sometimes, when I restart my phone, it works for sometimes. Therefore, please provide me any method to remove write protection on sd card or to format it.

You can't easily delete your .android_secure, it contains info of your system. I recommend you not to delete it. If it is write protected or need to formsat then go to settings>storage>format sdcard

If you're not going to use that SD card with the phone anymore then you could format it from recovery, assuming you have a custom recovery installed (be aware, formatting will delete *everything* on the card, not just the android secure folder). In recovery you can do this from the format menu in either CWM or Philz.
If you still want to use it with the phone, you should leave android secure alone. It will just keep coming back anyways.
You could ask for help here,

I accidentally deleted Android_Secure once. Simply sticked the card into my laptop, selected the folder and hit delete. That was before I realized that folder contained files required by apps, even if they're not installed on the MicroSD. Several apps gave 'not installed' even though the icons were there.
Android recreates the folder by itself. If you want to get rid of it to use the card for a different purpose, stick it in a computer and delete the folder.

Format the SD Card by a PC, the best method
You can also format it by any CUSTOM RECOVERY
Format into Fat32
Hi, so I've been searching with no solution. I'm on a CM13/Android 6.01 rom, SuperSU rooted and using Xposed. ExternalSD is a 128GB Samsung EVO+ and is setup as "portable storage" (Exfat). I am having SD card write access problems since the upgrade to Marshmallow. Titanium can't write to my external SD and then all my non-root apps can't get SD card permission, the most glaring is F-stop's option to allow SD card access in it settings (this is supposed to call the native picker so you can grant access to the SD card) crashes on press. Yet Solid explorer, Apps2SD and all my other root apps besides Titanium seem to have SD card access fine.
So what I am looking for is links/info links on any of the following:
1) Any Xposed/root app that bypasses the SD card restrictions for all apps. Recognized dev Defim is the only one I could fine that is still being maintained but it seems that it doesn't work on Marshmallow.
2) Instructions on how do I manually give external SD card write access to each app individually in CM13.
3) Reaching here but: What binary is used when the picker is called to give external SD card access to an app? I run Xprivacy but to be clear, I have disabled Xprivacy (unchecked the module in Xposed and rebooted) and still had the same problem, but I would like to observe the binary and see what permissions it is using to at least start to troubleshoot this.
4) Any other threads with other options for fixing Android external SD card permissions issues on Marshmallow?
Thanks for any link assist!
