If it's an android, you can change it within an app - like camera. Go into settings and change default storage location from internal storage to sd card.
If the app can't see your sd card, make sure it's "mounted" within your device. Depending on the software version: Go to settings, general, phone/tablet management, storage, from here you should be able to see the sd card. It is either ejected or mounted. Click on the sd card, if you can see the folders content, then it is installed correctly.
Also, if it was used in another device, it may need to be formatted to be used in your tablet. You can do that from the same setting menu.
First, go to Settings > Storage and check if the "Default write disk" is set to "SD card". Then go to Settings > Apps and swipe to the left until you get to "SD card". Below will be all the Apps that can be be moved to the external SD card. Click in the box on the right and another page will come up. About in the middle of the page will be "MOVE TO SD CARD" tab. Tap on it and wait until it finishes. Then go back and pick another App to move. You should be able to download apps directly to the external SD card. I haven't done that on this device and not all apps will download to the external SD card (the app maker can restrict downloads to only the internal memory. This tablet is one of the rare few Android devices that allow moving Apps to external memory.
There are several methods to help you set download application path to SD card by default.
Please follow the steps given below,
Method 1:
- Insert the SD card into the device, Touch 'File Browser' on 'Home screen'.
- Tap 'Apps', On Apps, select the 'App to be installed'.
- Tap OK to install the App to SD card.
Method 2:
- Tap 'Settings' on 'Home screen'.
- Tap 'Storage', Check to turn on SD card, and set 'SD card' as the default storage place.
Method 3:
- On your Android tablet or phone, tap the 'App drawer' icon from the home screen.
- From the displayed list, tap on the 'My files' icon.
- From the opened window, on the top right corner, tap the icon with four horizontal lines.
- From the displayed menu, tap the 'Settings' option.
- On the opened Settings window, under 'Select directories' on the left, tap the 'Set home directory' option.
- From the window that appears next, tap to select the desired folder or the entire external SD card where you want the files to be downloaded by default.
- Tap the Done button from the top right corner of the window when you are done.
If the tablet is running Android, in app manager click on the app you want to move and there should be a button 'move to sd card'. If it's 'greyed out', you can't move it.
By default they're downloaded to SD card. What's the problem? Just move them afterwards to ExtSD if you want.
Another way (if you have your device rooted and familiar with Unix commands) is to change system start-up parameters to mount ExtSD as a /sdcard/download from terminal application.
To transfer apps to SD card, you will use Settings-Apps, open the selected app, then choose Move to SD Card.
If you meant copying files, then use Explorer or other software with similar functions to copy the desired files. I think you actually meant the above.
You might want to free up internal storage space on your android tablet. You can do this by moving some apps to an SD card that you have installed. Go to your app drawer, tap and hold on an app, and drag it to "App Info". Then tap move to SD card. Another way to free up space is to uninstall apps that you don't use anymore. If that still doesn't work, try installing a storage cleaning app. I would recommend SD Maid by darken. Hope this helped!
