I'm trying to move movies and TV shows that I've purchased through the Google Play Store from my tablet storage to an external SD card so I can take more of them with me when I travel. I don't mind moving them back to my internal storage for Google Play to recognize that I have them to watch them. The problem I'm having is that I can't figure out where they're being stored on my device when I download them through the Play Movies & TV app. I've looked through the com.google.android.videos folder in /data/data/ but I can't figure out where they're being stored. When I view Storage through the Android settings, the storage taken up by the downloaded shows and movies shows up under Play Movies & TV data, I just can't figure out where that is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Move Google Play Movies & TV Downloads to External Storage

Go into Play Movies' settings, and find the storage option. It lets you select internal or external. Once you change to external, it will begin moving everything over for you and will use that as your default going forward.

That doesn't work for me since my Nexus 7 doesn't have an external SD slot built in (that's not an option to enable in the app without built in external storage). So the problem is that my external storage isn't in the tablet all the time. It's a MicroSD card adaptor that plugs in. I'd like to manually move the movies over, I just can't find them.
