I can only think of using a usb cable and manually storing in Internal SD Card.
Is it possible to partition the internal usb storage so as to use it as an external sd card ? Or can we change the default installation location of apps to Internal usb storage.
Please note that I am not using an external sd card. So i would like to move/install apps to internal usb storage. I have also read that many android phones have this option "Move to usb storage" under application manager.

Try taking out the data from the sd card, removing the sd card from the phone, and moving that data to the Internal SD Card. I don't think Shostock3 has that option.
I have all my apps and data installed in internal storage (i.e. 2 GB storage). But unable to move them to usb storage. I haven't mounted any external sd card. The storage is as follows :
Internal storage - 2 gb which is almost full because of apps
USB storage - 11 GB of which 9 GB
is occupied with audio, video and other files.
I seek to use this free space of usb storage for installing apps.
Try the app Move2SD.

None of the apps allow moving of apps to usb storage. They could only move them to external sdcard.

I found the solution for you. Try going into applications, click the app you wanna move, and click Move to SD Card. If it moves to the external card, remove that then try. It works for me.
Without external sd card mounted, when i click move to sd card; it says "not enough storage space". But with external sd card mounted, I am able to move apps only to external sd card and not usb storage.

That's imo going to be your best bet. Just manually move your apps to your usb storage through your pc.
Also, if you have ES file explorer, have you tried to use it to move your files to the usb storage?
Thanks for your replies. I have mounted an external sd card and using link2sd to move apps to it. One thing I noticed that with sd card mounted, when I move apps to external sd card, some part of the app moves to the usb storage and also the app size increases after doing so. However, still there is no direct way of moving/installing apps to usb storage without an external sd card.

free up storage space
A simple way to free up storage space is by deleting all the log files in the device memory. Just dial *#9900# on your phone and select option 2 “Delete dumpstate/logcat” in the prompted menu. It's not necessary to root your phone either. That’s it!

FYI, this code only works on Samsung-based roms; it won't work on AOSP roms.

[Q] Can't get Link2SD to work

Hey guys I'm looking to move my apps to the SD card and am trying to use apps2SD but whenever I move an app it comes up with the message "Warning: App2SD is not supported by your device. Because your device has a primary external storage which is emulated from the internal storage. you can link the app in order to move its files to your SD card" I have a rooted device and I've partitioned my SD card properly using Minitool partition wizard but still the error message shows, any ideas?
EDIT: Nvm flashed Doomkernal on my phone and it seems to be working now

Want to create symbolic link in my internal sd card TO my external sd card

how would i do this? can i do it from root explorer somehow?
Basically would like to sync my cloud files to my external storage (big) not my limited internal storage
I tried using link2sd and app2sd but I don't think they work on android 7.x as ti get java exception about external storage
Dont have nor do I want adoptive storage enabled, if that's possible (it ruins the sd card with all the read and writes)
