Sorry if this is a rather silly question. But when you insert a micro sd card into the note, does it simply make your storage space expand from the internal memory, so when you install large apps they share the memory or do you have to physically move the apps across to the card. If you know what I mean

you have to move them
Most apps install in system partition but the data of few larger apps is installed in internal memory like gameloft games or data in android folder.
You simply can not move those files to sd card. U need root access and 'movetosd' app to move system data to external MMC.

Search "GL to SD" app at Google Play. This app moves your games and some apps from the internal sd memory to your 32gb card- external sd card. Saves you some space.

I agree with this statement
Is it formatted the same way, where you have to install games in to your internal instead of the external memory card?

Apps as well. Never owned a Samsung phone before. Would like to move some apps to sd. What gives? How can I get apps to move to sd?
I am not able to move any of my apps over to my sd card? Is there something I should do so I can do this? Thanks

We don't have an apps2sd. I can't remember if that's just the way ics is set up or if its cause the phone is set up that way. But there is a mod in the dev section that lets you swap internal for external

Thanks I will search for it.

why do you need to? you have 16gb on internal storage... then an extra sd card for media etc...
Not sure why he needs it, but I would like it as I have two Gameloft apps installed. They're huge and take up gigs of space. Would be nice to move them easily to my 64 gig SD.

Is there a program that allows you to sync the folders on internal memory with the sd memory card?

What do you mean?
I dont know if this is the right direction you wanna go, but you could make a symlink from your internal sd to your external sd

The gs3 doesnt allow you to move apps to an, inserted, microsd card, so I would like to sync folders from the internal memory to an, inserted, microsd card.
Sent from my GT-N8013 using xda premium
Why not just use apps2sd? I personally dont know of any app that lets you sync between internal and external storage

If you are just clearing items from the internal SD and not from any system locations then you should be fine. Everything on internal SD is just extra storage for you and your apps. You may lose saves and settings if you were to just clear the whole thing. I would suggest going through and deleting the largest items or moving them to external SD. Use Disk Usage app to view the largest items and see what needs to be moved. Use GL to SD to move large games to the external SD but do note that you MUST launch them from GL to SD if you do this. GL to SD does require root. Also, I would advise deleting pictures and video if you use your camera a lot. Back them up first of course. If you have Google+ installed with it set to auto upload your photos and videos, this won't be a problem.
