Hi all. Just got myself a SanDisk 64GB uhs1 memory card. Do any of you know how to transfer all my pics, vids, etc to the card? And how do I get everything to save to the card from now on instead of internal memory? Im stock rooted btw. Any help is greatly appreciated

To move vids and pics go to your my files app, select the files or folders amd move them to your sd card. Not sure how to automatically make them go there.

For pictures, go into settings when you are in the camera app, and tell it to save to your external microSD, should be apparent in the settings where this is set. Regarding moving the rest, I personally like using Root Explorer to move files around, especially when moving quite a few files. It's pretty self explanatory once you use it.
Now, to take this a step further, I use Titanium Backup Pro and have moved some of my larger programs off the internal memory and run them from my microSD card, to save even more space on the internal memory. Haven't had any problems running any of my games off the external microSD.
An even easier way to move files is to install the drivers for the phone from the samsung site, and simply do this in windows. One drive will be labeled "phone", the other will be labeled "card".
And make sure your 50 gb dropbox account is saving to your new microSD as well.
when you take a pic or open the camara ask you if you want to save youe pic on the sd card
and to move then just go to my file a select the file you want to move and move it to sd card

Just got my GS2 today and I must say this is the easiest phone I have rooted to date! I have been working my way around the OS and found that apps are not seeing my files on my External SD Card. Is there a way to sort of sync these? I guess I dont mean sync, but have apps search both internal and external storage for files? Take beautiful widgets, I have a ton of images on the ex sd card. When I launch the app to apply one of those images it looks in phone storage and gives no option to search the ex sd card.
Thanks

easiest thing would to move everything to the internal sd card. i dont like how the phone sees SD card (internal) then from there i have to navigate to the folder called 'external sd' to look at my microSD files.

Exactly, but what good is it to have an external card if the apps dont use it? If I have to move everything to the internal card, what can I put on the external card and be able to use/access? None of my apps recognize the external card, lol.
i use my external sdcard for music & movie business and use the internal for everything else. i sync back & forth between pc & cell a lot so having a CLEAN (aka, none of those extra android folders) sdcard makes browsing and syncing much easier, cleaner, and organized. also, without that android bloat i can tell exactly how much goodies i have just by looking at the size of external sdcard
ps: external sdcard is more or less just a subdir on the internal sdcard.... its /sdcard/external_sd if i remember correctly.
i just slap my movie files onto thte internal sd since i delete them afterwards... didnt realize 16 gb is a lot of space lol
I removed some movies from the internal memory but when i go to storage, the available free space is the same as when the movies where there. I held the movie file down and selected delete when the pop up menu came up.
Any suggestions to clear the inetrnal memory or do i need to format the usb storage which will delete everything from internal memory?
Thanks,

I cannot mount my internal phone storage to my PC. I've tried multiple PC's and after taking it to Sprint have determined that I need a phone replacement. I've created a Nandroid to my external SD card but want to be able to save the rest of the contents of the internal SD card. Is there any easy way to do this without a PC? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Move all folders from internal SD card to external SD card?
Upload them to dropbox? Get a dropbox account here - http://db.tt/yXLnHuOn

Yeah that's the only way I know but was thinking maybe someone on XDA knows an easier way. Uploading 4GB to Dropbox would take an eternity.
copy and paste
I’ve used AntTek to copy all my folder except "external_sd" which is your micro SD and copied into the "external_sd" folder. Create a folder in your external_sd folder called InternalSD and paste into there to keep files separated because there are similar folder in each as is Clockwork.

My Suggestion
First, download and install the free app, X-plore, from the market place and go to the configure/setup page and - only if rooted already - show hidden and give yourself root access, and then transfer files to external SD. Once done, set up a Box.com on from an iDevice - that way you get 10GB free versus the typically 5GB of everywhere else - and then download, install and register that account on your Android and then upload to via the program. If Wifi is too slow for you, look into Android Reverse Tethering. If done right, it shouldn't take you too long.
Or just grab a Class 1 64GB SDHC/SDXC - or whatever it is - and just back everything to it, and then use a program like Directory Bind or Lucky Patcher to bind those directories to the internal of the same device or whatever device you plan to move to, that way you never have to worry about transferring all that information back. Just a thought. :fingers-crossed:
You don't even need to download anything. You can copy and paste from internal to external with the regular stock my files app. Just make sure you go to settings and select site hidden files to get every file..

Hey all, I have a question. I got a nice, new sandisk SD card for my GS3 for Christmas. I am use the the Epic where when you put in the SD card all music, photos, backups, downloads, etc go directly to the SD card. How, if possible, can I get it to work this way on the GS3? I haven't been using a SD card up to this point and when looking in my storage it appears as though it made a "fake" SD card location on the phone memory. I want all that gets put in the "fake SD" on my actual SD card. I know I can just copy it over, but will all the apps recognize the move? Also I want future SD items to go directly to the SD card.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

The thing is that on the S3 it also has an internal storage site
Theres a thread in the General section (i think) on how to swap the internal storage with external
I'm currently using a Galaxy Note 2. And I'm having issues with my microSD card. Just 2 questions:
1) Is it true that the latest Galaxy phones spoils microSD cards easily?
2) I had previously used mattiadj's memory swap mod to swap external memory to internal memory to put apps to sd. But unfortunately, my 32GB microSD card fried. Now that I've got a new one, when I installed the mod again, my storage details shows both internal and external as 32GB. And files from my phone memory can't be read at all.
Can anyone kindly help me more on the 2nd question? Really depressed to lose all photos and data and now can't figure out how to get that extra memory space. Many thanks!

If this is the mod you used it says you can access the internal memory through astro it es file manager.
Good luck

Short of rooting my brand new phone, do any of you have a simple approach to removing files from the SD card? I installed backed up files to the card from my old phone. Many are not needed. I also set the default to the camera to the SD card. Lots of pics I can do without. The camera now is set to save to internal memory until I edit and THEN transfer the acceptable pics to the SD card using the "Settings/Storage/Transfer...." approach.
Thanks in advance.
elaborate properly .

If you have Xposed, you can install "KitKat SD Card Full Access" to get this permission.
