How to transfer photos to your computer?

A memory card is the same flash drive, which has the shape of a rectangular plate with contacts. Memory cards come in different sizes, memory capacity, and data transfer speed. It would not be amiss to remind here that for cameras you can use memory cards of speed class 4, and for video cameras and video recorders - no lower than class 10. All of the devices listed have special programs for transferring photos and videos to a computer, when connected through the special cords that come with them. But this method is complex and confusing. The easiest way is to transfer photos and videos to your computer by connecting the device’s memory card directly to the computer.

There are many memory cards, but 2 types are used most often.

The first kind is SDHC card, and the other kind is micro SDHC card.

Most laptops, tablets, and phones have a slot for one or both of these cards. The slot looks like a narrow slot 2.5 cm wide.

A standard SDHC card has contacts on one side and a cut corner. This is done so that the card can only be inserted into the slot on one side. If you insert a card into a slot and it does not want to fit, do not use force under any circumstances. Just flip it 180° to the other side. If the card is inserted correctly, it should click into place and you will hear a soft click.

In order to remove a memory card from the slot, you need to press it a little with your finger, and it will come out of the slot a couple of millimeters. Then you can pull it out of the slot.

The memory card is inserted and removed in the same way, both on a laptop and on photo and video devices.

To connect a micro SDHC card to the slot, you need to have a special adapter, which can be purchased complete with the card. You need to insert this card into the adapter; on one side it has a small slot. The micro SDHC card can also only be inserted into the adapter from one side. For this purpose, it has a special protrusion on the side. You need to insert such a card into the adapter so that the contacts on the adapter and on the card are on top. The card with adapter can then be inserted into the standard card slot.

Desktop computers do not have slots for connecting memory cards. Therefore, in order to connect non-standard cards to a laptop, or any other cards to a computer, you need to purchase a special device called a card reader. On one side it has slots for connecting various memory cards, and on the other there is a USB connector.

To connect a memory card to a desktop computer or a laptop that does not have a card slot, you need to insert the memory card into the appropriate slot in the card reader, then connect the USB connector of the card reader to the computer via the USB input.

When you connect a memory card, the computer emits a characteristic signal, and a flash drive icon appears on the monitor’s taskbar.

Then you need to open the My Computer window. To do this, click the left mouse button twice in a row on the My Computer icon. Find the memory card icon in the window that opens. The memory card has the English letters SD in its name. Now you need to double-click on it with the left mouse button. There are 3 folders in the window that opens. Typically, a folder called "DCIM" contains photos, a folder called "MP_ROOT" contains videos, a folder called "PRIVATE" contains work files and should not interest you.

Click on the first folder 2 times with the left mouse button, on the folder that opens you need to click 2 times with the left mouse button again. Photos open in the window. Hold down the "Ctrl" key on your keyboard and click once with the left mouse button on the photos you need to transfer. Photos are highlighted in blue. Having finished the selection, release the "Ctrl" key, right-click on one of the selected photos once and select "Copy" from the drop-down menu. If you want the photos to be deleted from the memory card after transfer, you need to select the "Cut" option.

Then select the location where you want to transfer the photo. This could be your desktop or one of your computer's drives. Let's say you selected "Desktop". If there is no photo folder in the selected location, then create one. To do this, on the desktop, right-click once and select “New” → “Folder” from the drop-down menu. Give the folder a name, for example “Photos”. Then double-click on this folder with the left mouse button, it opens. Right-click in the window that opens once and select the “Insert” menu item. All photos were copied to the computer and also remained on the memory card.

By opening the next folder with videos on the memory card, using the same steps you can also transfer them to your computer.

To transfer files to a memory card from a computer, you need to repeat the same steps, only starting with the required folder on the computer.

The built-in memory of an Android device often runs out quickly, so users have to store large amounts of information on microSD. But what to do if Android does not save downloaded content to the memory card - applications, photos, music, and other files?

This article is suitable for all brands that produce phones on Android 9/8/7/6: Samsung, HTC, Lenovo, LG, Sony, ZTE, Huawei, Meizu, Fly, Alcatel, Xiaomi, Nokia and others. We are not responsible for your actions.

Problems with the memory card

First of all, you need to make sure that the memory card is working and ready to accept files. What to do:

The memory card may be incompatible with the smartphone - for example, it may exceed the capacity allowed for a particular phone model. If the flash drive is larger than a certain size of gigabytes (32, 64, 128, etc.), then it simply does not recognize it, because not programmed for such volume. In this case, the only way out is to use another microSD storage device with a smaller capacity.

If no card is detected, it makes sense to contact the service center. There may be hardware problems with the phone that prevent it from working with external drives.

Wrong folder in browser

If problems with saving occur while downloading files in the browser, you should check the destination folder. It may be specified incorrectly, which is why the browser does not understand how to save photos, music, videos and other content. Let's look at the example of UC Browser:

  1. Open the "Downloads" section in the main menu.
  2. Click Settings.
  3. In the "Download Path" field, specify the folder on the memory card.
Increase

After such a short setup, files in the browser will be downloaded only to the specified directory on the card, without filling up the internal memory.

Files cannot be transferred to a memory card

This most often applies to built-in Android applications. In the phone they can only be stored on the internal storage, otherwise the smartphone will not work. At the same time, any application from a third-party developer can be moved to the microSD.

  1. Open Android settings, go to the “Applications” section.
  2. Find the program you want to transfer to the memory card along with all the files.
  3. Click "Move to SD".
Increase

If the button is inactive, then the application cannot be moved. If it says “Move to phone” instead of “Move to SD,” this means that the program files are already stored on the memory card.

The settings for transferring files to the memory card have gone wrong

In Android settings, you can manually specify which memory is used by default - internal or external. Depending on the selected value, files will be downloaded to your phone or microSD card. After updating the system, the settings may be lost, so it’s worth checking them.

Not every model or manufacturer has such a setting. Check it out for yourself.

  1. Open Android settings.
  2. Go to the "Memory" section.
  3. In the "Installation location" or "Default memory" field, select "SD".
Increase

When there is no setting

If it is not possible to set the default location for saving files, then the applications themselves will come to the rescue. In the same Samsung Internet browser, it is possible to set the storage location:


 Increase

Look in your application where you are going to save files from, whether it is possible to select a save location in the settings. If this is not the case, you will have to manually move files from the internal memory to the microSD card.

Today we will talk about automatically installing applications on a memory card for tablets running Android. Devices from Apple, due to the lack of a MicroSD slot, are immediately eliminated - they are limited by the amount of built-in memory, so they have to store some of the data on the cloud. Whereas in most Android tablets this slot is present. Let's say more, recently gadgets have begun to support memory cards with a capacity of up to two terabytes! And no, we didn’t mistype it - it’s really true.

If the method below does not work for you, then try the one we wrote quite recently.

Why are applications not saved to the memory card?

We hasten to disappoint you - in some devices it will not be possible to allow automatic installation to MicroSD using software. In particular, this applies to devices running Android 4.4.2 and higher – right down to the “marshmallow”. Fortunately, there is third-party software that allows you to do this. But let’s not rush things – we’ll find out about everything in order.

Find out the Android version
Well, now let’s put everything into pieces. First, we need to find out the Android version.

Go to the menu;
- Go to “Settings”;
- Scroll to the very bottom and click on the “About phone” item;
- In the submenu that opens, look for information on the version;

In this case it is Android 5.1.1. This method is suitable for both smartphones and tablets. As a matter of fact, on this device, without “external” intervention, it will not be possible to ensure that all applications are automatically installed on the card. But, as you have already noticed, we have third-party firmware with built-in Root rights.

With their help, you can easily install additional software, which, working in the background, will “scatter” all the files from programs and games across a flash drive.

Saving applications to a memory card for Android 2.2 – 4.2.2

Everything here is extremely simple and banal:

1. We still go to the menu and look for “Settings” there - the icon, as a rule, resembles a gear in appearance - there should be no problems finding it;

2. Next, look for the “Memory” sub-item. In our case, it is located between “Screen” and “Battery”. The menu may differ depending on the device manufacturer. The screenshot shows an example of a clean version of Android, without shells that are preinstalled at the manufacturing plants;

3. And now the most important thing - tap once on the “SD card” item, located below the inscription: “Default recording disk”. On the contrary, a circle or a tick should appear;

4. Profit! Now all applications downloaded through the Play Market will be automatically installed on external memory.

By the way, if the flash drive is slow, and there are such things, then applications may not work correctly. So buy a good SD card - don't skimp.

What to do with devices running Android KitKat and higher?

Unfortunately, you won’t be able to do this without obtaining Root rights. Google has officially stopped supporting this feature in new versions of the operating system. The fact is that cloud services are becoming more widespread and, as a result, problems with insufficient memory should not arise. But in our country there is no such high-speed Internet as in the USA, and traffic is not cheap, so clouds are not in demand.

Is there any way to make sure that applications are automatically installed on the memory card? As we said above, this is real.

If you have a tablet from one of the Chinese companies, then it probably already has built-in Root rights, but you will have to tinker with other manufacturers. Naturally, in the course of this article we cannot talk about obtaining them, because the process for each gadget is unique - the instructions can only fit into a multi-volume book. But oh well, it doesn't matter.

You can contact a specialist with a request to install Root rights or do it yourself at home. The last option is the most risky; there is a chance to turn your gadget into a so-called “brick” and only be able to restore it in one of the service centers. However, if you have already carried out a similar procedure, there should be no problems. As a last resort, on the Internet you can also find solutions to these same problems. So, go ahead and experiment!

  • Somehow we have strayed quite far from the main topic of the article. So, let's return to the instructions: Using any of the possible methods (flashing, unlocking the bootloader, etc.) we get Root rights;
  • Go to Google Play;
  • In the search bar we write: “SDFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD” - this is the assistant application that will be useful to us in the future. Let's install it. We hope this doesn't need to be explained to anyone? Just tap once on the “Install” button and the process will take place automatically, after which a shortcut to launch will appear in the menu;
  • We open it and see a bunch of, most likely incomprehensible, inscriptions in English. There is no need to translate them - everything is resolved in a few clicks;
  • Click on “Continue”, as shown in the first screenshot;
  • We tick our agreement that by clicking the “Continue” button, the device will be slightly modified;
  • We wait literally a couple of minutes until the orange screen changes to green.
  • On the green screen we are informed that automatic installation of applications on the SD card has been successfully enabled.
Actually, that's all. And the most difficult thing in this whole matter is obtaining Root rights. Fortunately, on the Internet there are step-by-step instructions for all gadgets that have ever hit store shelves, and there are plenty of instructions on our website.

Many people want to know how to install applications on an SD card in Android devices. If a user has a phone or tablet with a small amount of permanent memory and RAM, then they probably uninstall programs often to free up space. But there is a way to increase the storage capacity by using an SD card.

Methods for installing programs

Data-lazy-type="image" data-src="http://androidkak.ru/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/link2sd_copertina-300x131.png" alt="Link2SD" width="300" height="131" srcset="" data-srcset="http://androidkak.ru/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/link2sd_copertina-300x131..png 768w, http://androidkak.ru/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/link2sd_copertina.png 800w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px"> !}
By default, Android games and applications are installed on the built-in storage of your smartphone, which may be too small. If you have an SD, you can make sure that some programs are installed there by default, thereby freeing up space for more information. Under certain conditions, you can transfer almost any installed program to a removable flash drive.

How to install an application on an Android SD card? There are several different ways to carry out this operation. The correct method depends on the operating system version and the data you want to move. In the settings of Android 6.0 Marshmallow, you can adapt the SD as built-in memory, automatically installing allowed games and software on the removable drive.

Some smartphones without a new operating system allow you to move an application to the memory card manually, but only if the developer allows it. An alternative way to transfer programs is to use the Link2SD application.

It should be noted that programs launched from the card will likely run slower than those located in the built-in memory.

That's why you can only transfer applications to an external flash drive if absolutely necessary. It is recommended, whenever possible, to use this method for programs that do not require high speed for normal operation.

How to adapt an SD card for internal memory

Traditionally, SD on Android served as portable storage. This means that you can store videos, music and photos on them for use on your smartphone. SD can be connected to a computer to transfer files two-way. When used as a portable storage device, the card can be removed without affecting functionality.

How to install applications on a memory card? The Android 6.0 Marshmallow system allows you to use SD as built-in storage, turning it into an integral part of your smartphone. If you accept a removable flash drive as your main storage, then by default new software will be installed on it. If desired, the user can move the program back to the built-in memory.

If an external drive is used as the main storage, then it cannot be removed without affecting the functionality of the gadget. In this case, the card cannot be used on other devices (including PCs). The SD card is formatted as a local EXT4 drive, encoded with 128-bit AES encryption and mounted as part of the system. Once the Marshmallow system accepts the drive, it will only work with that drive.

You should definitely back up your data and save it on your computer before using the flash drive as internal storage. The onboarding process will delete all data. You can return data to SD after the drive is accepted as built-in storage.

To transfer data, you need to connect Android directly to your computer. It is not possible to remove the SD from the device and connect it directly to a PC to transfer files. If the drive was used as portable storage and it contains data, then you need to transfer it to the built-in memory. If you do not do this, the programs will be deleted and will have to be installed again.

When using SD as internal storage, you need to make sure that the card is fast. When purchasing a new drive, you should look for Class 10 and UHC. If you choose a cheaper and slower SD, it will slow down the device as a whole. If you plan to configure the drive as internal storage, then it is better to spend the money on purchasing a fast card. The Android system will test the SD speed during the synchronization process and warn the user if it is too slow and could negatively affect the performance of the gadget.
