So when I go into the storage on my phone it says 4.5gb of pictures on the internal storage but I have a 64gb memory card and save them to the card. I know some programs like IG and fb will default to internal and I see those folders when I go to ES file explorer.
My problem is that there are only a handful of such photos and I can't figure out where these so called 4.5gb of photos are? Are they in a hidden directory or something? I'd like to clear up some of the storage on the phone as it tells me there's only 500mb available

When im full up I use an app called "drives".. I dont love its UI but it helps me find where the big hog files are...

Connect your phone to the pc and go into your internal storage and move content to a folder on your pc or the ext SD card.
It's faster and neater.

OK...so I download some huge file games and have lots of pics and music etc...I had to clear about 800mb to finalize my Nova 2 install. Now I'm out of space.
My question is...the next time I download and it says there is not enough space...what else can I do? I have an external SD card..but it's not putting files on that one instead.
Ideas?

this is my solution to the 2GB size problem

Well its not the internal 2gb mem.. its the internal 16gb that's running out... it won't let me download directly to the external.. keeps saying I don't have enough room on my USB SD.. and I have an external 16gb with about 5gb ready to use

then is even easier
just free up space on the internal SD and move it to your external SD
or you can mount the /sdcard/DOWNLOAD into /sdcard/external_sd/DOWNLOAD for stuff to download to your external SD instead of the internal SD
use the Gameloft reference, instead of that do it for download folder
Can you share that script?

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.

Does anyone know if we will ever get the capabilities to move downloaded items to our sd card? Theres no sense in promoting expandable memory if we cant use the cards!!!!!
You can move files to external memory, just not installed apps. Any file explorer app will work, "my files"is the stock app that can do it.

It Will Work, And Pictures (And Videos?) Taken From The Phone Camera Should Have An Option To Go Straight To External Card.

extsdcard is your external sdcard, the one u put in. sdcard0 is the available internal storage
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.

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.
