Can't access SD card

Hi,
I both a new A100, I put the Sd card and downloaded some epub files (saved in the SD card, acording an incomming message. But I can't access the SD card, where to find it to open the downloaded files. I need another app, or it's other way.
Can somebody help me?

SD Card is mounted in \mnt\external SD. You may need to navigate up,you might be starting in \mnt\sdcard

I'm having the same problem here
Is there any way i can put everything I downloaded directly on the sd card instead of internal. Like files I downloaded they went to my internal instead of my sd
please reply thank you

[Q] Problems with SanDisk MicroSDHC 64GB card

Hi this is my first time posting a question on here so I'm hoping I'm doing this correctly
I recently received a SanDisk Ultra 64GB MicroSDHC card to use in my AT&T Note II phone. When I inserted the external SD card into my phone, everything mounted correctly and functioned right. However, when I tried to transfer my pictures and music into to the external SD card from my internal SD card using the stock app My Files, it would say that everything moved to my external SD card, but when I checked it, nothing was in the external SD card and the files that i had moved from my internal SD card were gone. So I backed up all my files from the internal SD card to my laptop to make sure I don't lose files again.
Afterwards I tried all of these methods to get files to properly into the external SD card:
I tried connected the external SD card directly to my laptop using an adapter and moved the files there
I tried moving files to the external SD card while it was in my phone
I also tried using KIES and KIES Air to move files into my external SD card
The first two methods didn't even have files show in the external SD card. The third method, using KIES and KIES air had files in the external SD card but they were corrupted where I can open my picture and it's a icon of a man of some kind and my music files just wouldn't play.
So I just factor reset my phone hoping that this would fix this problem and I haven't tried moving files yet. I'm hoping that perhaps it was an app that was conflicting with the external SD card.
I know that my external SD card is not fake because it came in a legitimate package and I also ran a software (that I can't remember the name of) that puts in data in the external SD card until it fills up and reads the data to see how much actually went in.
Could anybody tell me what the problem is and how I can fix it? I can't go back to the store and exchange it because it was a gift and there's no receipt. Thank you so much for your help.

well seee if it works on other phone if not then sent it back to sandisk service center they dont need any proof of purchase just the sd card packet pic will do as proof as it comes with lifetime warranty , just sent them a mail and report if its faulty and they will ask u to send the sd card back to sandisk center and they will send u a new sd card :good:
if they ask for a sd card no just chk your sd card back it written over there and not on the package as the org number they need is available in sd card back

Micro SD card problems.

Anyone else experiencing problems with their micro sd cards? I have a 32 Gb class 10 micro sd card installed and it shows that I only have 200 mb of available space on my external card. The card is empty so how is this possible? Any ideas??

Did ya format it with phone

Most likely an issue with your card not the phone. I definitely haven't had an issues nor have I heard of any

Something similar is happening to my sd card
I am experiencing something similar, i first noticed when trying to copy a zip file to the sd card to install a rom and the zip file didnt show up.
My problem is that i am not able to copy anything to the sd card or delete anything from the sd card. I am however able to copy files from my the sd card to the computer. I have tried formatting it from an android phone,pc,cmd but after the format is done i have the exact same files that were on the sd card. Its strange because after formatiing on my pc it shows the sd card as empty but once i disconnect and re-connect the sd card all the files are somehow back on to the sd card and are not corrputed or anything because i can still play music and view images?

Got a 64Gb card in mine with no problems at all. Shows the same space as it did on my Note 3.

Had the exact same problem with my son's sd card on another phone about a month ago. After too many hours trying different things, I ended up having to throw it out.

It turns out that it's because of the new Android 4.4 update. Google has decided to do away with ability to give permission to write on our sd cards and it is creating quite the uproar everywhere. For those of you that haven't yet encountered these issues, that's only because you aren't running latest Android OS. They mentioned that there might be a fix in the next version of Android Lollipop. But for now, we are left with only one other alternative and that is to root our devices and allow permissions to write to sd cards.

Deleted files from SD card but empty space the same

Hi
I have the Galaxy tab S 10.5 SM-T800 with stock rom
and when I delete files from EXTERNAL SD Card the space doesn't get affected by the deletion, I did that from both samsung stock file manager or from Samsung videos app of course because the device is not rooted
I've tried that for many times and still the same space (deleted files more than 2 GB)
I've tried also hooking the EXTERNAL SD Card to the PC using a card reader and removed couple of large files and the empty space increased perfectly but not from the Tab itself

I think you may be deleting stuff from the internal sdcard and not external.

Excuse me? I'm not following
I'm deleting from SD Card (The external SD Card) not the internal memory
As I stated I tried this from both the tab, and attaching the SD Card to a reader and plug into the PC

The external sd card is called something like ext_sd on the tab s. The internal storage is called sdcard.
Make sure you are deleting from the correct directory.

Can't Write to SD Card

Hi! I have a Sprint LS992 LG G5. I have a 200 GB SD Card. I can't save any files to my phone via the SD Card nor write anything to the SD Card. If I try to download something to the SD Card or have an app write to the SD Card, it will error out. I can, however, transfer files from computer to the SD Card. Is there a possible other pathway in the file explorer to access the SD Card? Currently, using Solid Explorer, my SD Card sits on /storage/BBF5-E792. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

You can save stuff to the sd card. You have to download whatever your downloading and use your stock file manager and move it to your external card. Other file managers will not work.

I downloaded things to internal memory and then was able to move it using Solid Explorer. It is such mickey mouse bull**** that you can't just download directly to the SD card. I only have 32 GB of internal memory space (which isn't enough) and having to move things from internal storage to an sd card is cumbersome and tedious. If you (or I for that matter), figure out a way to directly download to the sd card (which may mean using solid explorer to find another file name path to the sd card) I'll let you know!
