Hi,
For some reason I've been unable transfer files to my (external) SD Card while it's installed in my S3 and connected via USB. I always get an error message (on Windows).
I always have to pull the Micro-SD card out and connect it via a card reader on my PC.
Anyone else encounter the same issue.
I'm using Windows 7.
I could post screen-caps of the error messages later if needed.
Are you able to transfer files to and from the internal storage of the S3?

When you are attempting to transfer files are you dragging the file to the phone storage or external? When you drag the file over your phone it should auto open a dropdown that has phone and then SD card or external card. Also are you on a bootcamped Mac running Windows 7? Mac will throw those errors unless you copy the file from your Mac partition to your Windows partition.
Just to knock the easy ones out of the way... USB debugging enabled, drivers installed for MTP?
Can you post the error message please?
And no the irony isn't lost on me that I own a macbook pro and have a member ID poking fun at Apple. I'm a full Android convert. I love my macbook though...
Hi
I moved acouple of avi files from internal storage to the sd card connected the phone to pc but the files. wont trasnfer over i can see the files on the sd card click copy but when i go to paste the files onto the pc nothing happens. If i remove the card from the phone and use a usb adapter to connect it to the pc the files copy ok.Obviously i don't want to unmount the card from the phone everytime i need to transfer a file to the pc can anyone help me with this
Maybe a formatting error. Sounds ridiculous I know... pointless getting technical, so just wipe the card and see if that fixes your issue
Hi stevepork
I just tried that and its just the same. i was wondering if it might have something to do with kitkat 4.4.2 which the phone is running.

What is your USB settings ? PTP or MTP ?
Hi
It's mtp when on ptp i just see an image of a camera and have access only to the photos on the phone
What you you see when you right-click on the sdcard file from the computer to show its properties ?
properties doesnt come up only open and explore
Maybe you need this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix
As I've only had it a month i don't want to root the phone as it'll void the guarantee which I'd have to do to use the app

Dont worry about warranty when rooting.
There is a way to get everything back to normal.

I'm using the folder mount app to move the files to external sd.
I can move files from internal storage to sd card but i cant get them off the sd card without removing it from the phone and connecting it separately to the pc
it's the security measures that prevent unauthorized access to the sdcard. if you don't want to root, you can move your movies to the dcim folder then you can access it under PTP
Thanks alot for that i just tried it and it works a bit slow but better than keep having to take the back of the phone off and on and unmounting the sd card.do you have a link to rooting the g3 I'd like to look into it sp long as its fairly simple and can be reversed
Read this thread for rooting, the unroot method is explained in the second post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2821000
Hi
I rooted the phone and installed supersu but the files still won't transfer to the pc .the phonr id d855 v10h-eur.
Hi,
I just got my S 10.5 tablet and loving it so far.
One thing though, I cannot seem to write to my Micro SD card (Samsung 32 GB).
I see it on the table and can format it, browse it.
When I connect to my PC, I see the tablet, as a media device that opens to two drives which are browsable but anytime I just try to create a directory, it hangs...
The behavior is same if I switch to Camera mode.
I tried retrieving and installing USB drivers from Samsung site but changed nothing...
I'm getting desperate... My only option is to remove the SD card, mount it on my phone, transfer my files then back on the tab.... ouch...
Thanks
HTC Sync manager was causing the problem. I can transfer files now.
Thanks to ckpv5 I was able to install the new firmware and TWRP. The phones got a new problem, when I try to transfer anything over to ether the internal storage or SD I get an error "Cannot copy - device stopped or removed".
I want to install a custom rom, but I cannot do to that error, I also cannot create new folders. I tried to see what would happen is I did a backup and nothing shows up. There is no backup or a TWRP folder.
EDIT:
TWRP folder is there, nothing inside.
I keep getting another error, failed to mount /carrier. But I read that some phones do not have that so its not a problem. Maybe it is a problem for my phone?
Hello Group,
I am unable to access the sd card on my S1. I have tried the tips I can find online like formatting the card but nothing seems to work, I continue to receive
"grant access to sd card error "messages.
I have spent a week searching but can't find a fix.
I want to be able to insert an sd card by otg and copy photos to an sd card inserted into the tab. Do I need to root the tablet for this to work?
Thanks for your time

Does it show up in the device storage in settings? Is the capacity correctly read?
Is it an error message, or is it just wanting you to follow some steps? It should pop up the default file manager. Then you need to go to the SD card and hit select.
Hello , thanks for the reply.
Yes it shows up in file manager and I can format it. Some file managers I have tried can select it and create a directory on some cant. Both the programs
I want to use say to select the card but then come up with the error message card not selected.
The programs I want to use work fine on a LG phone with a later firmware. So It must be a Samsung Issue or Marshmellow issue I think.

Have you used this file manager to access the internal SD card before? Usually that dialog is for the internal sd card, and not otg.
Can you record a video of what you are doing?
