Kitkat places severe write restrictions on SD Cards meaning the usual ways you transfer media files to your SD card probably won't work anymore. ie. ES Explorer..etc

However, pre-installed apps in S3 will not be subjected to the restrictions.

Quick way (without root) to transfer files from your PC to S3 SD Card would be to use the Samsung's pre-installed app: Samsung Link to transfer directly from PC to SD Card.

To copy/move/delete files on SD Card use Samsung's pre-installed app: My Files

Have fun with Samsung Galaxy S3 Kitkat 4.4.4!
