I just did a factory reset and my Samsung account is currently restoring my S Notes I had written. However, although the S Note folder in the internal SD card is becoming populated no notes are showing up in the app.
I checked all apps installed in the application manager and discovered that there are two S Note apps, one about 1.5 mb in size and one that is 7 mb. I tried to clear their data but S Note did not pickup my imported notes nevertheless.
Does everybody else have 2 S Note apps when looking in "all apps" in the application manager? Should S Note automatically pickup what is in the S Note folder in the internal SD card? I tried refreshing the app but that didn't help either.
I do. One is a very small file though.

Hi.
i'm wondering if there are a temp folder somewhere on the internal memory where programs are being stored even tho they have been installed.
the reason is that last week, i had 40 something mb free, moved everything to sd, so problem solved.
Today i have 19mb free, i have installed some new apps, but they are installed on the sd card, so i can't figure out where the 20mb went.
I am figuring that it's probably the apk's i've downloaded which are left somewhere.
How would i go about figuring out where the 20mb went?
The cache of some applications is probably taking the space.
Go to settings, Applications, manage applications and look in apps.
Inside each app, Cache button is present.
Or, install from market
http://www.appbrain.com/app/app-2-sd-free-(move-app-to-sd)/com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd
the new version can clean cache of the applications, if you start app2sd.

Yes, i've seen that mentioned somewhere else, the thing i'm wondering about, is that the 3 games i have added to the collection over a week, should that make a 20mb difference on the internal memory?
I've installed app 2 sd, and it's reporting that i've got 1.6mb cache used by apps, so not much going on here.
On the phone tap, it'll let me move maps, facebook and voice control to sd card, that's cool.
In the phone only tap, i can see those apps, which cannot be moved, i got 7 apps.
flash 11.2mb,
space invadars 4.6mb,
marked,
launcherpro 3.5mb,
beautiful widgets 1.8mb,
3g watchdog 688kb and setcpu 432kb.
On the bottum it says total 147.62mb, 21mb free.
21mb free, and i've only got those 7 apps installed on internal memory.
does that look correct to you, because to me it looks like there should be more available.
Hi,
I have more apps on "phone only", and even some under "on phone" and still 41 mb free.
And what about mail attachments and cache.
Go to mail, then settings, and see if you keep the data on internal or external storage. Check the same within the web browser.
And see if you have deleted already deleted mails from trash folder.
I can't help more.

I'm having the same problem, and like you can't find a solution .... yet.
I'm at 12mb free with everything possible moved to SD card.
I installed an app from the market yesterday then uninstalled it, but never recoverd all my memory, so I think, lke you there's something being left behind in a temp folder somewhere.
I'll keep you posted if I find a solution.
Bump.
As of right now i've got 8 apps installed on internal memory.
i've got 13.85mb left.
on sd i've got 39 apps, and 2.93gb left.
still no solution to where all the storage went?
the thing is that sometimes when u install then uninstall an app u don't recover the whole space, this issue has been discussed many times before,and basicly there is no temp folder from which u could delete unneeded files.the only way to recover that memory would be a factory reset
Anyone know what this is and if it can be moved or deleted? On my device it's like 4.98GB of internal storage!

If you refer to the "Cloud" setting and cloud agent (which on whatever firmware my device originally came with, crashed if you had sync with Dropbox enabled; I have not tried on newer stock firmware or custom ROMs).
It's related to your Samsung account sync. Part of its UI is an alias to your Samsung account sync settings. It also has some form of sync with Dropbox - I believe it is the same as with Samsung Link / AllShare Play, auto upload to Dropbox for your pictures/videos; similar to Dropbox and G+'s own feature. I'm not familiar with how it's implemented inside.
You probably should not uninstall any cloud agent APK's unless you've basically ripped every bloody Samsung specific thing off, and even then you should check what's safe (there should be a thread somewhere by now). Clearing data on it is probably okay but cleanup and setup may be necessary after, depending on how much you use your Samsung account.
if you use nether Samsung nor Dropbox accounts, it's useless.
I just deleted the directory. Used Dropbox a few times and have not noticed it recreating the directory. Before deleting it I did see it had a copy of my Dropbox folder making a service like Dropbox useless if it caches everything to the device like on a PC.

Like most Samsung features, I'm sure there is someone out there that actually has use for it. Most people on XDA likely have 0 use for everything Samsung puts in because either they don't use it or they already have an app for it.
I found this idiotic thing on an Android 4.2.2 Samsung flavor. Indeed, after you define your Dropbox account it starts taking down your pictures and doesn't stop until it finishes them all and crowds your device with them.
This "feature" can be officially disabled in: Settings-Cloud-Pictures / Videos / Documents. You need to untick one by one sync option.
There's an option while setting the device from factory reset to allow or not the Samsung device to access all your dropbox info: select no.

i had a major issue with this..because it was downloading my dropbox files to my internalSD AND deleting it from the dropbox cloud
freaked me out
i ended up disabling sync in settings
When I first bought my Note 8.0, I added my Dropbox account to the Cloud sync under Setting>Personal>Cloud>Contents Sync thinking that it would be kind of cool to have my dropbox contents downloaded on my Note 8.0 without needing to wait for the download when I need them. Since then, I've found out that the Cloud function downloads my stuff into a file called "cloudagent" on my internal SD instead of my external SD and it's not really as useful as what I thought it to be. Plus, I discovered that Dropsync does the job that I want it to do excellently.
So my question is, how can I remove my Dropbox account from the CloudSync? I positively remember adding my Dropbox account manually and it wasn't something that was there automatically after logging into the Dropbox app. Thanks a lot, guys!
You should be ableto unlink the device through dropbox`s settings or go into android settings and remove the dropbox account.
If you get foldersync or dropsync you can sync any folder you want o you sdcard. I think the free dropsync allows one folder.

Yeah I unlinked the device from dropbox's permissions, so at least I know that it's not going to start downloading stuff into my internal SD. Problem is, on my device side of things, now that I've revoked its permission to access my Dropbox, the "space used" section just keeps on loading and loading and when I click on my account, there's a button that says "Sync all" and nothing else. No "remove account" or anything of that sort. It's been like that for a week now and it's finally eating on my nerve.
I got the paid version of Dropsync while it was on sale and it's a great app to use. Anyway, thanks for your time. I guess I'll just bear with that annoying loading until it finally realizes that the reason it can't load anything is because it doesn't have the permission to.
Mine has remove acct at the top of the acct screen. Odd it's not on yours. I running civs rom if that makes a difference.

in my s4, it would not only download it, but then delete the file from dropbox...thta was a huge issue for me
go into settings-->cloud and disable both pictures and videos completely
it's a useless function and dropsync is absolutely amazing....i never buy stuf, but I def bought the pro version
Hi all,
So I am still confused about the Sdcard permissions thing and really need this question answered before upgrading.
Im a scientist, and therefore have hundreds of saved literature articles in pdf format.
For several years, I have been putting new pdfs on dropbox for library syncing. Paired with dropsync, this would allow me to automatically sync all new papers directly to my tablet for viewing in ezPDF reader.
Is the kitkat update going to break ezPDF's ability to read and access the pdfs that dropsync is handling?
I often do not have wifi while Im reading, so a simple dropbox login that does not sync my files to the local sd card is useless to me.

You need to be rooted to be able to write to the extsd card. I am running both on kitkat but I'm rooted.

I used to auto sync photos and documents that I set up folders for on my external SD card using FolderSync. That all ended with 4.4 on my N3. It's not awful though. I moved a ton of crap and apps to external SD and my sync folders to internal SD. Samsung's My Files has full access to the external SD card and also links to FTP (what I use) and some cloud services so it's pretty easy to get files to the external SD. Set up a dual instance of My Files in multi view and you can view multiple sources at once and drag and drop between them. That includes cloud services and FTP.
So i was really excited about getting the new Nexus 5X until I found out it was missing any external storage (Micro SD). Sadly this seems to be what is happening on all the new phones. So my technical question is: can I use some sort of cloud storage that is as transparent to my android apps as when I have the file (music/audiobooks/whatever) stored on a Micro SD card in my current phone? Is there a storage app that becomes just another folder that any app can access?

no surprise here, Nexus never has microsd cards. I find it funny that one of the marshmallow features of using sd cards to install apps can't even be used on their nexus phones. You can use cloud to store stuff however I don't think it will work in the way you wish. You can't store apps/app data externally to the cloud. Even the new cloud phone has to download the app before it works.
You can use cloud storage like dropbox or one drive with an additional app to do what you want. The apps are called DropSync for Drop Box and OneSync for One Drive. They might have one for Google Drive as well.
Those apps will take a local folder and sync its contents to the cloud. Anything you save to the folder is automatically synced. It does use local storage though so you will not gain extra space doing that which seems to be what you want.
