Mossop 2 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 I have an SD card in my phone and I want to download my media there. When I select the download location in settings it offers me "Internal storage", "External storage (android)" and "External storage (Downloads)". What is the difference between those last two?

Luke 37046 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Hi, it's hard to say because that's how your phone presents it using the storage APIs. You might just want to give them a try. Maybe try the last one first. Let us know if this helps. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my (unrooted) samsung tablet the only one of these that downloads to the sd card is "External storage". "External Storage (Downloads)" actually downloads to internal storage "Downloads", but this is the ONLY download location where I can see the files using my android file manager. Using either of the other locations files are not visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossop 2 Posted April 18, 2022 Author Share Posted April 18, 2022 Yeah in testing it appears that "External storage (android)" is the correct one for the SD card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
