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?

UplI have my TF700(which I nicknamed The Beast), for a few days and I need help with understanding setting up my 32 GB MicroSD card.
A few days after getting my TF700, my ordered SanDisk 32GB card came in the nail.
I did not reformat it, as it seemed to work fine.
Now comes my confusion.
With the new card inside, I did the USB connection thing to my Windows computer.
It immediately said loading drivers and in Computer, I. saw two new drives listed.
One the internal storage, the other the MicroSD card.
I created a couple of folders and copied over the contents of two CD worth of songs, all in Ogg audio format to the card. No problems.
I opened up Poweramp on my TF700, had it scan for music and it found my Ogg audio files.
Poweramp works great and plays everything. store my music in only Flac and Ogg formats.
Plugged in my headphones and the music sounded incredible.
Now the weird stuff.
I wanted to move some data files over to my card. Plan to have the volatile data files on the card and the more static apps on the internal storage.
I opened File Expert on my TF700 and it was bizarre. I see these folders showing that are shown as being on my external card, but in reality, they are not.
There is a mnt folder and inside that is the SDCARD folder.
Then when I go back in File Expert and select the Internal storage, I see a folder called removable and sub folder of that called MicroSD. I opened it and there are where my real MicroSD files are.
What the heck happened?
No problems redoing things, but I don't understand. Did I need to reformat my card inside the TF700?.
Thanks in advance.

That's just the way asus tablets handle external storage (it could be the same with other tablets but I only had a prime and this). You're fine. You could use asus's stock file manager app to get to your microsd card easier.
I don't use File Explorer, but ES File Explorer, but I don't think it makes a difference, but might.
Anyway, on the TF700T when using a file explorer the internal storage is SD card. The microSDHC is actually underable "removable" storage. You'll see both listed when you hit the root directory. It took me a few minutes to figure it out.
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.
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've got a Xperia 5 II with 128GB of memory, and I'm trying to transfer my music from my Huawei P30 Pro to the SD card in the Xperia. The Xperia Transfer tool did a great job of moving my photos and videos to the Xperia's internal memory, then I moved those files to the SD card using the Files tool on the phone. My music, however, is a 140GB folder, so it won't fit on the phone's internal memory, and I can't find a way to tell the transfer tool to send the files straight to the SD card.
My P30 Pro has 512GB of internal memory, and no card. The only way I've found to transfer the files off of the P30 to my computer is using the Huawei PC app, but the transfer speed would require about 20h to move that data. So, I was wondering if anyone knew of a tool that would more efficiently transfer the files directly from the P30 Pro's internal memory to the SD card on the Xperia.
I need some help. I have a Motorola a03s I can't root. Don't have computer.
I do have an otg card reader and I have an SD card 32gb from my SanDisk sport clip go. I am trying to backup or clone my SD card.
I am trying to see if there is a partition managing tool I can use that does not require rooting my phone. Maybe one that isn't on the app store?
The card has a small hidden partition that I could see when I had my laptop that has the mp3 players operating system and then an open partition where you putsmusic and books.
I can see the music and books 30gb partition and access it to add and remove media..
What I can't do is have access to make a backup in some way of the hidden partition or clone it to a new card.
Any suggestions or help appreciated. Thanks
Do you actually have a laptop, or not?
Currently only phone. No longer have laptop. Phone, USB c card reader and SD cards only. I want to backup all of my music and books so if my card dies I can just swap the card to put it into a new player and go. This model the internal memory is all on the card. The operating system or whatever you would call it and on a secondary partition is where you keep the media.. if you dont copy both partitions then the player won't turn on.
