Has anyone had any luck figuring out how to grant write access to the external SD card to an alternate user account? I can read files off it it fine, but writing appears to be disabled, and the same apps that requested the necessary write access just fine on the main account suddenly don't believe an external card even exists on the alternate accounts.
I need the internal storage to be encrypted, so unfortunately I can't root.

I am using DirectoryBind - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262
DirectoryBind just creates the simlink that poins from intrenal SD directory to extSD.
Gama data are sometimes very huge, so it's good idea to move them to extSD (and simlink them with DirectoryBind to maintain functionality of those games).
You need ROOT to use DirectoryBind.
I'm having a big issue getting the Android File Manager to grant permissions to write to the SDcard for 3rd party apps. In order to grant permission. One must select the external storage. Doing so will enable to app to modify the contents of that storage. However, my phone does not detect the external storage as seen below ..

My situation : I have TTorrent's download directory to my MicroSd -- so as to not waste internal storage. I downloaded a .rar file and it saved to the sd card. I want unpack that file, but I must grant ES File Manager permission to do so. It prompts me of what I need to do. I have the 'Show SD Card' toggled on, and yet my external storage doesn't show.
I have formatted my card using Android's format system.
I have formatted using Windows in both NFTS (Wasn't supported) and exFat.
I have tried mounting and unmounting and restarting the phone.
Yet to no avail ...
This is not an issue with ES File Manager, as I have used QuickPic to attempt to delete pictures from the MicroSD, It asks for permission, and again I cant grant it, because external storage doesn't show even though it is mounted.
What do I do ?
Update:
Apologies, there was another thread on this topic. I got it to work thanks to this thread ! >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773735
SDcard just needs to be formatted to exFAT and the external storage will show for 3rd party apps. At the unfortunate sacrifice of 4Gb file limit sizes.

You mean it needs to be formatted to fat32 correct? That was the solution posted here in the alcatel forums, and it is what you're linking to in your post.. just don't want any newbies getting confused
I want to encrypt my SD card in a way that I can access it on my Linux system. The only two apps I find that can do this, get errors when they try to set up containers.
I want this container to open when I unlock the phone. SD card is a Samsung 128GB card. I can move files to it wirelessly and with file manager, but not with the encryption apps. Could this be because I'm running Marshmellow (Resurrction Remix)?
I've used my external sc-card as internal storage. My phone had a software crash and i had to hard-reset it. After re-installing the system-image, it doesn't grant me access to the external card. It's just asking if i want to ise it as internal or external storage... Is there a way to access my data? please help
I bought this thing and added a 512MB SD card in it, only to find I can't put apps on the SD card. Is there a way to root it and run a ROM that would support this? The build # is T220XXU1AUH3
Apps only can get moved to external SD-card if app's developer granted it. An app's data can get stored on external SD-card if Android offers the Adoptable Storage feature.
