I was really looking forward to this update for my 2015 Moto G 3rd Gen, mainly because of the 'adoptable storage' feature. My handset is 8GB so I presumed this feature would add my Micro SD cards 32GB and combine it all. It makes it look like it does, but actually it really doesn't...
Firstly, when you choose to use the adoptable storage feature, all apps that couldn't be transferred to the SD card when you had Lollipop, still can't be. Meaning your physical internal storage can still get full - I know this because GTA won't install.
Also, you can't choose to have photos and videos to be saved to the SD card if you choose to have adoptable storage - I also know this because my physical internal storage increased heavily after taking a HD video.
So, you can choose not to use adoptable storage and just have the SD card for photos and videos and music... but now if you do that, no apps whatsoever can be transferred to the SD card!
It's a stupid change and I wish I'd stayed on Lollipop - that way, all my photos would automatically save to the card and I could transfer apps that were allowed to be transferred to the memory card.

Is 32gb enough storage with whatever available space there's? I play one game but download quite a few apps. Pics I save on Google photos. Let me know how you all are making out with storage.
There is expandable storage with a microsd card, up to 128 gigs. Plenty of deals at this time for less than $30.
I don't remember exactly, but I think there's like 18-20GB of free space plus whatever you add via SD card? I've got ~15GB free and 30GB free on a 64GB SD card, so I'm doing fine for space.
It comes with a few preinstalled apps that are able to be deleted. I had around 21gb available after deleting the preinstalled and installing the apps I used. Roughly 20gb available.
I heard a micro SD can slow down the device? Is this true?
SD cards have slower read and write speeds than onboard device storage so they're better suited for to be used like a SSD+HDD is in a gaming PC. SSD for applications, games and stuff that needs to be fast HDD for mass storage of movies, music, some games, and whatever else.
Hello guys, I have just bougth a 256GB Micro SD, it's an AData class 10, it's not UHS-i.
I had a 32GB one inside of my phone, so I decided to copy the data from the old one to the new one...
Once I finished, I inserted it to my Z3, transfered things from internal storage to SD to free some space (photos, videos, apps), then I restarted my phone and noticed that the apps moved to te SD were not opening, then I checked Settings->Storage and saw that my SD was now just using 7GB, instead of the 47GB that were being used before restarting.
I have tried to format the SD directly from my Z3, then copy data and the same happens, in some cases it just says "Impossible to play this song" for music files, or the photos are not being shown.
Can anyone give me a solution?
Z3 only supports up to 200GB of External Storage
Theoretically it should support cards up to 2TB (not that those exist) if it allows SDXC.
"Mobile devices like smartphones support the standard , not the capacity ... It's the same with anything using removable storage.
For example, a smartphone that supports Micro SDHC (Micro Secure Digital High Capacity) is limited to just 32GB... But a television supporting Micro SDXC (Micro Secure Digital eXtended Capacity) can use storage cards up to 2TB.
It doesn't matter that 200GB is an unusual size (anything in computing or electronics relating to data almost always increases in doubles - 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, etc...)... Just as long as it's 2TB or less."
How do I move my album art, screenshots, downloads to SD card automatically.
I kow how to change my storage settings for videos and pics to my sd card but not the native stuff that are automatically moved to the phones internal storage
My phone is running low on storage and some of it has to do with my media files. How do ensure that whenever i do something like take a screenshot, it will be saved on my microsd card as opposed to internal phone storage
I have a Note Edge(Note 4 essentially)
I have an LG G5 with an external SD.
I don't use any cloud services (and I never will).
I'm thinking of buying a new phone but a lot of them don't seem to support an external SD.
On my G5 I can't write to the gallery pictures directory (DCIM) through the usb data cable, I have to take out the SD card.
I have a lot of pictures on the SD card that I would want to transfer.
Is the DCIM directory writeable on the Google Pixel3 XL?
If not, how to people transfer files?
Hello,
First of, I have been using MX Player Pro on all my phones since since release. I love the gesture controls, and am annoyed whenever an app forces me to use their inferior built-in video player
I was happy for the built in private folder, removing the need for an extra 3rd party locker app.
However the current implementation of the private folder seems to store all of the data in the internal storage. This is inconvenient, as I am using a Motorola g8 power with a very limited internal 64 GB memory, with an external SD card of 256 GB.
While in theory android allows for using the SD card as internal storage, this option is disabled on most phones because it can make the phone slower.
Similarily, my phone did not allow me to move the data of the app to the SDcard. (Not 100% sure, it might be that this just didn't increase the leftover space in the internal storage).
I would love to have a setting in the menu to store the data of the private on the SD card.
I totally second that. MxPlayer saves in root of Internal Memory in \MxPlayerPro\.private
Since all are videos, encrypted, they will take a lot of space, quickly filling the internal memory.
I have a Note 20 Ultra with 128gb, and my private folder is 60Gb of it
I tried just moving the folder to the SDCard in case that MX player would read it from there, but didnt work.
