I can't seem to locate where Next Issue is downloading magazines too. My tablet only has 16gb on board so I'm hoping I can point the app to my external card where there is plenty of room.
Is there any way to figure out where the data is stored so I can create a symlink? Diskusage just jumps to the app manager instead of location

Are you asking about your? Galaxy Tab S

Next issue is a tablet app. Symbolic links - you can create them using an app like solid explorer. I've done it before to move Google music downloads to my SD card before Google supported SD card

Most apps store data in Android/Data on either the internal or external sd card

Something seems to be wrong with the calculation of my internal storage. I feel like I should have more free space. Any ideas where this used space could be hiding? And how I'm using 523MB for pictures isn't possible, I have around 70 photos on this phone. They average 2MB each.

Nandroids?
I only have one nandroid back up. The files in the backup folder aren't particularly large though.

Download Es file explorer, once inside click menu "3 dots" click manager then click SD card analyst. It will show you what your apps are eating or various things being stored. Most likely my guess is a bunch if non sense thumbnails. Probably a bunch of small files.

Glad I found this. Was finally able to locate some old game files that were taking up 3 GB !!Thanks!
I have the exact same problem and this worked, but when I delete it it says the space is free, but j get out and go back and the files are all back again. Its been like this ever since I rooted and unlocked my phone.
i have 16GB internally but 64GB in a mSD. how on earth do you move game data that doesn't ask where to install to the sd card?
You can't unless you root
i have root
Search Directorybind on xda via Google a d try that
Works perfectly for me!

It moves directories, so you can choose directories of specific apps/games or for example all games by binding /sdcard/Android /obb to the external sd card.

And is it running in background?
neither work for me. the GL to SD moves data but nothing else. the games still wants to download.
the other - directorybind - says i'm not selecting a valid directory. i used the internal browser in the app. guessing because it's set to extsdcard instead of sdcard.
doesn't seem to support JB going by that

what? that applies to the assistant according to the blurb underneath it
ok decided to let the assistant do its thing and it did move the data.
shame it did it in a totally useless and just moved it to another path on the same internal space! instead of sdcard>data etc, it moved it to sdcard>external_sd > etc.
so still on the internal storage, not the actual SD
basically, this thing doesn't work on JB yet.
My space is slowly disappearing and I would like to move my apps to my ext. sd card. I'm rooted currently running the awesome 1.40 Paranoid Kang rom and have a 16 gb sd card. I've searched but haven't been successful in finding anything. Is this possible to do and if so could someone get me headed in the right direction? Thanks in advance for any help.
Try downloading ROM toolbox I think you can do it with the app

Thanks. I just got the app but am unclear on how to do it. Do you know how? Thanks.

Sorry rom toolbox will only work if you install new apps scroll down and you should see app to SD and hit external and all new apps should install there.
try titanium backup hit the check mark at the top right and scroll down you should see move apps to SD card

Does rom tool box allow game data to transfer as well? If not and you're a heavy gamer, you can use Directory Bind to have game data to your external while binding it to the game in the internal. I'm saving well over 10gb off my internal by doing this.

Yes. If you have it turned on, and there's no other dropbox entry in storage overview, that's most likely it. Delete the cloudagent folder in /sdcard and see if it's gone.

Use a file manager (or browse from your PC) and look what it contains. It could be files that are synchronized via Samsung Kies. By default the "Samsung" folder is around 102 MB only. It contains a video file, a music files and some images for wallpaper.

Hi,
Why not move them to your external sd? This way you can save your internal sd space. Please note that the free space for internal sd and sdcard partitions are shared.

Uh, could you confirm that you mean that free space in internal and external storage is shared ?
Because as far is I know you are wrong.

Hi,
What I meant is the free space for internal (hidden partition where the apps are installed) and the sdcard position are shared. Not the external sd.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4
Whatever you do, you won't be able to use more than 10.46 GB of data. Even if you switch to an aosp ROM which is less than 1/3 the size of touchwiz ROM , you will still only be able to use 10.46 GB.
Some apps showing 11.2 GB including titanium backup is the same as only 14gb usable out of 16gb usable. You can multiply 11.2 x 1000^3 and divide it by 1024^3 and get roughly 10.46
Resizing partitions is a different case.

Hello, can anyone explain to me how Directory Bind app actually works? In fact, in the app, I have no idea of why the default source directory is always the external SD card (instead of the internal SD by logic). Also, have anyone here actually get this app work on Note 2 since all the videos of demonstration of the app I saw online were done on those very old Gingerbread phones.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
It works fine on the note 2. There is a really good tutorial in the note2 general section somewhere. Thats what I used. I'd probably recommend folder mount though as that will work on 4.2 and 4.3 whereas directory bind doesn't if I remember correctly
Sent from my GT-N7105 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yes..directory bind did not work on 4.3. You can use folder mount if you're on 4.3.

Nope, it works just fine on 4.1.2. It maps folder on EXT SD to INT SD. So source is a folder on EXT SD and when you map it, OS sees it as INTernal... pretty simple.

I downloaded it but even when I selected the bind, it basically just moved everything from the source folder to the destination folder and emptied the source folder. However, the new files that suppose to go to the selected folder on the extsd also went to the int SD. Therefore, there is still something in the SD. Why?

It basically tricked your system to make it looks like the files in in internal sd, where they are actually in external sd.
Try unbind it, you can see that the folder in internal sd is actually empty.

However, do I always need to reserve about 2GB for the internal SD in order for the system to run those big apps since every time I bind the directory, it will think that 2GB is occupied?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
And will the program only mount the apps only when I launched it ? Since if those apps were always mount go the folder, the system would always think that they are in the internal SD and occupy space.

Nope. You can check your internal sd storage space in setting/storage..it will stay the same when you bind or unbind.
