If you app don't allow to change the location, you can use something like Link2SD.

If the complete download folder is to be transferred, probably foldermount is more appropriate.

foldermount will patch all Samsung phones but it is no guarantee that it will work eventually, no harm to try though.

I'm not sure why you'd need to but try apps2sd from the market - it's free.

That's pointless in this phone.
If you read the app description is even says, "Not supported devices: * Galaxy S3, Note 2, Galaxy Nexus, Tablets"
The only way to get apps installed in sd card is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931500

You need something like Directory Bind. Kind of tricky though. Unfortunately gone are the days that google will support moving apps away from internal memory.
Hey I need because internal memory is 14 gb so when it geys full I want app which I move the data to sd card

This function is not supported, however you can change to custom roms that may support this, or just install redpill kernel and use the function in the stweaks to make your external sdcard an internal sdcard. This is the easiest method If you get any problems just post some question in the link below, i'll be making some tutorial on how to do this kind of things soon

/sdcard is the top. And that is my internal.

My external SD card disappeared too, but it was because I had installed a ROM other than stock that did not have support for 64GB cards. But you say you are running stock Rom and Kernel?

Hi,
May I know how to change the app backup destination to External SD Card. I typed in /extSdCard/AppBackup/ and a warning popup with "Non-Existing Path". I even type just the /extSdCard/ and same error message appeared.

I have to agree, used es for a while. Tried the trial of Solid Explorer, bought the full version. Great interface. Try it.

Go in your settings and try setting the "home" folder to /storage/ from there you'll be able to access the internal and external SD cards, as well as any USB OTG drives you'd have connected. You should not need root to do this.

The only way that I've found to do this is Settings-->Storage-->Scroll all the way down to "Miscellaneous" and click on Transfer data to SD card. It doesn't do this in the way that vanilla Android does, but it's close enough for me.
If you just want to move installed app to sd card use link2sd
Press thanks on help

This is the best so far until a internal/external sd switch fix is created. Just freed up 7 gb's on my internal sd by moving game data to ex card.

FolderMount works fine but wait until you fill your phone I had all my large apps in folders with FM and had 6Gb "free" but as my apps totalled more than my "internal SDcard" the phone refused to update some apps....
So spending money on FM for me was not worth it

If rooted, install Xposed, then load the Music2SD module. Works great.

Usually a different browser will work.
Or search play store for a downloader, it will strictly download the link you put in.

Hello sir, try changing the settings in the browser to where actual files are downloaded to. If it says save to memory card change to internal, or vise versa. Hope it helps. The option is "default storage"

What rom....and what apps2sd scripts are you using if any ?
Changes you've made recently have caused this ???
Updates perhaps ???
My thoughts are leaning toward applications that point to downloads being force placed to external storage...
And the default is internal storage..
Something is likely causing a conflict in the mapping before the download starts...
If you are not opposed to testing, you should revert to a known rom setup that worked..
Or if needed...restore the device totally if the issue cannot be found...
Scripts are often hard to track down ...and I think one of them...or at least parts are present that prevent the correct mapping to occur...
Just my thought at 3 a.m.
So go easy on me....LOL...g
