[Q] Creating new folders through the stock gallery to an SD card. Is it possible?

I was wondering if it's possible to create new folders on the SD card from the gallery. Currently, I have my pictures save to my SD card by default. The issue is if I want to take all my recent pictures and put them into a new folder (like "Christmas 2012" or whatever), the gallery creates the new folder on the internal storage and then moves all the selected pictures from the SD card to the phone. Then I have to go through the file manager and move the folder back to the SD card to keep my phone memory available.
Is there a workaround for this, or will using a new gallery app fix it?

Use a file explorer and make yourself your new folder in your sd card. Then you will only have to sort all your photos and will save on your sd card

[Q] Non root write to external sd Lollipop?

Just done an OTA update to Android 5 on my UK sim free Lg G3 but I am still unable to move files from internal SD to external SD.
Have a lot of downloads that are taking up space and tried to use ES file manager to move a video to my 64GB micro SD card and it failed.
I thought Lollipop returned the use of the external SD card?
Don't want to root the G3 because the banking apps will stop working.
What should I do?

Hi, did you try tu use stock file manager?

The stock file manager does not have a copy/move option.
Has write to SD actually been returned in Lollipop or is rooting the only option?

It has. Hold your finger on file and it will popup menu. Im using it all time. It's not FM if it doesn't have move copy or delete.

Tried that but again, no copy/move options (lots if others though, inc. delete, share ect).
Strange problem this.

Just an update.
I unmounted the external sd card and erased.
Now the built in file manager has all the options Inc. copy and move.
I can now write to the card.

Lolliepop has reintroduced Write To SD Card
The file manager app Xplore can now write to the sd card. You have to try it first and then it will send you through a small set up to allow writing to the sd card. So Google fixed it. Its just now the apps have to be reconfigured to be able to write to the sd card.

[Q] Editing a installed app ?

i was just wondering is it possible to edit a app ?:
so that rather installing the videos and documents and audio to internal storage to , install to the /extsdcard instead
also look into the sdcard for said files instead of internal storage

Let's see here... I use xposed Downloads to SD, and many apps find what I put on SD. Some apps need to be moved to SD to find the data. fortunately, Android 4.x allows most apps to be moved to SD, so no special apps are needed.
So far all my media apps including Studio, Gallery, Hi-speed camera, Stock video player, and MX Player do just fine finding media both on SD and internal.
If you want defaults to SD storage, you will have to edit the config file associated with the app, if the app does not have a feature to change storage location. Not all apps have a config file nor use the ssystem.db database.

i have one app that can be moved to sd but still downloads its documents/videos/audio to internal storage ,, it doesnt matter if the app is on sd card or internal it always looks for the folders in internal storage even if i move the folders manualy
hmm sorry didnt read properly trying it out now

Gooberdude i salute you thanks for that , by using downloads2sd, i set the two main folders up for music and movies onto sd card, re-install the app and redownload from app, this binded the file on sd card to the app
exactly what i was looking for
thanx again

Your welcome!

Maybe a problem with the SD Card : did you try to format it again ?

I have the same problem with Samsung Galaxy tab pro 10.1.
Cannot move apps to external SDcard. This function is not available.
The app Maps.me cannot save maps on external SDcard. The function is not available.
I can save pictures taken by camera on external SDcard.
Explorer shows the files on external SDcard.
I install with TWRP and external SDcard.
Untill version lineage-14.1-20170330-nightly-n2awifi-signed Maps.me can save maps on external SDcard, but I cannot move apps to external SDcard.
With the newer versions Maps.me cannot save maps on external SDcard.
How to fix this? Where can I post bugs to LineageOS official?

Cannot delete photo from SD card

Just put a SD card from my old Samsung phone to my new z2 force and found out that I cannot delete photo from this SD card, either using Google Photo app or File Explorer. Using File Explorer I can delete other files just fine (like pdf files). I don't want to format the SD card as I have quite a few things in there.
Anyone know a fix?

You need to give those apps permission to access your storage. Go to apps and check the permissions.
