Help copying from old to new SD

[javamann]

Hi there...I have this very old SD that I've been transferring from one smartphone to another for years. I finally made the jump to a modern 32 GB class 10 and now I want to transfer the data on the old to the new. Now what would be the easiest way to do this. Any suggestion will be gratefully appreciated.

I think the old way using a cable and a PC is the best way.

You can go to the sd card which would be external memory. You can copy... hold finger on 1 file. Do select all then copy. Then go back..STAY INSIDE YOU'RE FILE MANAGER ! The go to internal storage and paste it there. It won't delete the other files... Just in case it don't work first time. After you paste in internal memory. Unmount sd card then install new one and REVERSE ! Go to file manager... Internal storage then COPY THOSE FILES N PASTE IN NEW SD CARD

You only can use internal memory for temporary storage if you have enough of available space on it.

Or, if your micro-sD has an adapter, eject or umount the old sD from the phone without deleting it's files, then with it in it's adapter, plug into your computer and remove the files to your desktop. Eject the old, now empty, sD, then put the new one in and load those files into it.

I did this using my Mac and it worked flawlessly. Before loading, I saved a copy of each file to the Mac documents. Then all the files were saved on my Mac, and on the new sD, which was inserted and loaded into the phone.
