Is there a way to change the default download directory to the SD card so all downloads from apps are automatically stored on the SD card?

So I've always placed my zipped ROMs on my External SD card. Now I'm getting ready to flash an ICS ROM and read the instructions for the first time in a long while and I see that I should put the zipped ROM file on the "SD card".
I guess I always think of an SD card as being an external item. Is the root directory an sd card also? Not the same as the external SD card?
I see in ES File explorer Root is listed as "/sdcard " and clearly not the same as "/sdcard/external_sd"
So where should my flash-able zip files be before flashing?
Thanks
Place on external sd
Is there an app that will allow me to move all my files FROM the sd card to the MAIN memory, not just a simple copy and dump but something will will change apps setting from store default on sd card to store defaut on main memory

Hi! I have a Sprint LS992 LG G5. I have a 200 GB SD Card. I can't save any files to my phone via the SD Card nor write anything to the SD Card. If I try to download something to the SD Card or have an app write to the SD Card, it will error out. I can, however, transfer files from computer to the SD Card. Is there a possible other pathway in the file explorer to access the SD Card? Currently, using Solid Explorer, my SD Card sits on /storage/BBF5-E792. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

You can save stuff to the sd card. You have to download whatever your downloading and use your stock file manager and move it to your external card. Other file managers will not work.

I downloaded things to internal memory and then was able to move it using Solid Explorer. It is such mickey mouse bull**** that you can't just download directly to the SD card. I only have 32 GB of internal memory space (which isn't enough) and having to move things from internal storage to an sd card is cumbersome and tedious. If you (or I for that matter), figure out a way to directly download to the sd card (which may mean using solid explorer to find another file name path to the sd card) I'll let you know!
Hi,
I have changed download location in Storage settings from SD card to local memory and then removed SD card.
Since then Microsoft Edge do not download any file.
I think it is still trying to save file to SD card.
Is there a registry value from where Microsoft Edge reads location where to save downloaded files?
I found a registry value on desktop (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\AppContainer\Storage\microsoft.microsoftedge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\MicrosoftEdge\Main) but it does not exist on mobile (checked HKLM/HKCU).
Setting, storage, new downloads will save to phone.
I have set Downloads location to phone storage. Without SD Card, downloads in Microsoft Edge do not start downloading, it is still trying to access SD card. When I insert SD card then the file downloads. If I change with SD card inserted downloads location to phone memory, files still downloads to SD card.
Probably bug, my OS version 10.0.14393.103
didn't find the answer through search. if i installed an sd card and used it as an sd card and not an extension of phone memeory, can i remove the card and copy the files to my computer. install a new larger memory card and format as internal memory then drag and drop the sd card files from my pc back onto the phone without a problem?
Yes. Just turn the phone off when you take out / insert the card to be safe.
