Android forbids (I ask you!) nearly every app writing to an eternal SD card. So why have one?
My internal 16gb storage is almost full (I know should have forked out for more memory). My 32gb storage card is almost empty. But even ES file manager is not allowed to move downloaded files there.
I'd read something about it being an Android security safeguard, but quite honestly I'd prefer - in the case of corruption problems - that my SD card to get chewed rather than the internal memory.
So what's it all about?
I'll be told to get round the problem by "rooting" my Android phone and Android tablet. Being, sadly, not a geek, that frightens me (not to mention warranty fears). Would I have to learn a whole lot of new tricks to get apps to write to the external card?
