Hi there!
I have a USB OTG device that reads microSD cards, SD cards and USB drives and I want to use this device to copy files from microSD to USB. I can do it copying to the phone storage or the microSD in the phone.
Do you know if its possible to mount both devices at the same time?
Big maybe. Have you tried using ES File Manager and copying between each storage devices??? I would think it would show up all at the same time considering you can have two partitions on the same SD card.
My card reader doesn't have USB, but I was able to copy a movie from a CF Card to MicroSD while the reader is plugged into my phone.

I previously had the original Vibrant. When I would mount the phone to my Mac Computer it would show both of my Internal and External SD cards.
Now when I mount my new Vibrant 4g it only shows the Internal SD card. I have turned on USB Debugging and it still won't display the External SD card.
Anyone know how to get both SD cards to mount to my computer?
Btw...in the time past I never needed to download drivers or anything.
You are most likely only seeing the external SD card when you mount it to your computer as the Galaxy S 4G does not have an internal 16gigs like the Vibrant. So only the external 16gig is mountable.
I have a micro SD card and a SD card connected to my Transformer/dock. Only the micro SD card shows up in Windows, as the "MicroSD" folder, when connected to my PC despite Android seeing both cards. Other threads mention that a "SD Card" folder should show up, but I don't have any such folder. I'm able to copy files to it on the tablet itself and alotcat shows the system mounting/umounting it when I insert/eject the card. Trying the cards one at a time (SD inserted and micro SD ejected) also didn't help.
I'm running the latest FOTA, completely stock.
I've had this same problem. SD card is inserted in the dock, but when hooked up to my computer, its not accessible. MicroSD card is, but not the one in the dock. Same for External USB devices hooked up to the dock. My guess is that they aren't mounted via the mtp. I tried rebooting the tablet with the card inserted and hooked up but still no go. Running Prime 1.3 and newest firmware for the keyboard.
I have been trying to fix this problem for a few hours now with not result.
Last night I went from an one click unbricked stock rom on my infuse to CM10.
Before CM10:
Normally when I plugged the phone into my computer two removable drives would be recognized by my computer but would not be accessible until I triggered the USB storage from the phone. When I do that I would have access to the 16gig internal SD card on the phone which is now sdcard0 and I would also have had access to the 32gig external SD card that I have in the expansion port.
Now:
My computer still has two removable drives pop up when the phone is plugged into the computer. However I can only get into the internal SD card on the phone. When I click the Removable Disk H icon for my external 32 gig SD or sdcard1 I get a please insert disk error.
To sum it up. I am able to transfer files back and forth between the two disks on the phone. I can access everything on each SD card. I still have an external_sd in the file list but it is now just a folder with a few files in it instead of the external sd cards contents being there on the stock rom. For some reason the phone isn't mounting the sdcard1 as its own removable drive when I connect USB storage to my computer.
I am going to continue looking for an answer on my own in addition to what ever help I receive here
Thanks for reading in advance.
Hi. I have a 64gb sdxc sandisk sd card. I want to format it to fat32. I've read on the net that you can do it only if you have an sd card reader. Unfortunately I don't own and sd card reader. Is there any way I can format the sd card directly while connecting the tab to the computer without the help of any sd card reader?
Thanks.

Yes I did it this way.
You'll need the app SGS3 Easy UMS (available here at xda)
and the PC program guiformat.
The first one is needed so that the PC can see the external SD Card as a mass storage unit (and not as a Media Transfer Protocol). In this way you can format the external SD Card through your PC.
The PC Program did the formatting of the external SdCard to fat32 ok for me. Probably there are other PC programs that can do fine the same.

Thank you man!!!!!!!!!! YOU ROCK!! :good::good::laugh::laugh:
I have a Moto G4+ and recently the Samsung 32gb EVO+ SD card in it is not always recognized. Rebooting always solves the problem, and reseating it is not a permanent cure.
The card is set for "internal storage" meaning it is encrypted and cannot be read in any other device including my Windows 10 PC.
I want to clone the card's contents onto a new SD card (which hopefully will always be recognized), but cannot find any way to do it. While I can copy the contents of the card to my PC via a USB cable connected to the phone (for file transfer), it cannot be copied back to fresh SD card in the phone if it is formatted for "internal storage."
No cloning software (like EaseUs, Acronis) can recognize the card if put in a card reader in a USB port on my PC, and therefore neither its image nor contents can be copied to a PC or to a fresh SD card in another USB slot on the PC in its encrypted format.
If I put the fresh SD card in the Moto and format it for internal storage use, I cannot any transfer files to it from the PC via wired connection.
So... is there any way to clone my original SD card set for "internal storage" to a new card?
Thanks,
