I have a Pictures folder in the root of my SD card. By default several apps created their own folder in Pictures and save their photos in that folder.
If I move the Pictures folder to my SD card what will happen? Will the apps find their folder on the SD card and keep using it? Or will a new Pictures folder be created on internal storage and fragment my app data?
In that latter case, I assume that the app would only see the photos in the newly generated folder and not see any of the photos I moved to the SD card. Is that right?

A few questions:
First off, I am assuming that the phone has 2 SD cards: 1 that is built in, and 1 external SD card(if you purchased one).
1) After I "unmount SD card"(assuming this is the external one that I've purchased), I go to gallery and there are 8 photos there that are labeled:
"sdcard (8)". SInce I've already "unmounted" the SD card, I'm assuming these 8 photos are saved on the phone's built in SD card. Can someone confirm that what I've said is correct?
2) After I "mount SD card", a lot more photos pop up when I go back to gallery. They are labeled as follows: 89 photos that are labeled "Camera_External (89)" and 15 photos that are labeled ""100MEDIA" (15)". Ok now I'm assuming all these 104 photos are saved on the external SD card that I've purchased. Can someone confirm this is correct?
3) How do you control which SD card(phone and external) your photos and videos get saved to?
4) How do you move photos and videos from the phone SD card to the external SD card?
5) When I sync my phone with a google account, how do I get all these photos to sync? It seems I can only get my contacts and calendar to sync.
Sorry for so many questions guys, but I do appreciate any help. Thank you in advance.
Hello
What opportunities are there to decide which folders on the external SD card to be used whenever a sync by "Kies"?
When I use Kies to sync videos to my SD card, they be placed in the folder "DCIM - Camera", I would like them to be placed in a folder called "Video"
Hello,
I am having duplicate pictures show up in my gallery. The original pictures are on my SD card, but when I went and looked at the duplicate pictures and where they are located, they are on the SD card as well in the MNT folder. I deleted 1 picture from the MNT folder and it deleted it from the SD card as well. Anybody know how to fix this, I don't care if they are in 2 places, I just don't want them to show up in my photo gallery as a duplicate picture.
In the folder you don't want to show in gallery create or place an empty file named .nomedia.
Yes there is a period at the beginning of the name ( makes it hidden ).
Hi there.
I installed Viber on my new phone.
This phone has an internal storage and an external SD.
I checked that Viber created two folders with the same name at two locations.
One folder is on the internal memory, on the location
Android-> Data -> com.viber.voip
The second folder is on the (External) SD Card, on the location
Android-> Data -> com.viber.voip
I changed the names of these folders "com.viber.voip" to something else.
However the application, created new folders on these two locations with the name «com.viber.voip».
I am not sure why this happens.
Does anybody knows?
All apps uses /data/data/com.bla-bla.bla for app settings, permissions, database etc.
Default storage memory for images/videos/medias is internal sd. If you use external sd as main/default storage, system just uses symlink from internal to external storage and move all files to external storage and empty folder preserve on internal storage.
Retrieving main storage to internal, should leave all files on external storage and starts to using internal for future images and videos.
