Hello,
what app do you use for exploring files, but one that can access the sd card. I have Astro File manager, but i can't seem to access the sd with that...
There is an app called File Transfer, until Root the only way to access your SD
In astro just press up in the top left hand corner and select sd2
File expert is one of the best - you can map network drives with it too.

File manager hd..?
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using Tapatalk
I use HD file manager for honeycomb. Its easy to see all my files plus I can setup a connection to access my NAS drive. Astro is good for my phone but not as user friendly on my tablet.
I personally use ES file explorer.
And as mentioned above, accessing the sdcard is under sd2 since the internal memory card is classified as sd.
File manager hd for honeycomb is indeed better then file expert for lan. Thanks for the tip.

I use both Astero and File Manager HD.
but I must says that I prefer File Manager HD.
I use Root Explorer, obviously I can't see root folders, but it works great on all my devices
I'm another multi-app user. I have Astro, ES and File Manager HD, and I actuallly prefer File Manager. Doesn't have quite the polish of Astro but is much more user-friendly, HC-friendly and weird Sd Card-friendly.
I used "/" as home on es file manager.

It is my understanding that root and gapps hack places gapps in system folder and grants it access to installing apps and app related data, books, music, etc on the partition 15GB section. However, the usb downloaded content goes to the 1GB partition.
Once you are rooted you can store all the files you want on /data (there is around 11-12GB free by default). App installs also go to /data. The problem is that when you connect the Nook to your PC it only mounts /mnt/media and /sdcard. You would need to copy your files temporarily to to an SD card and then move them to /data (from the Nook) for long term storage.
The other issue would be media apps not scanning and seeing the files on /data. Some apps let you add additional search paths, so /data would be better suited for large movies, PDFs, and other files that you would normally launch with a file manager.
We are working to get the partitions swapped, but without the ability to write custom boot images we might be stuck (for now).
I have the 1gb limit for Nook Tablet and solved it as follows with this workaround:

Your nook tablet must be rooted to even see the additional storage and you must access it
through a file explorer like Root Explorer or ES File Explorer - it cannot be accessed via
a PC running Windows or linux. Make sure you go into settings of ES File Explorer and tick
Root Explorer and Mount File System.
I store my media (videos, mp3's, etc. )
in the /data/media directory
and - I started with about 12Gb free.
YOU MUST set the directory to be R/W using ES File Explorer and changed the permissions to
allow "others" full read, write and execute (again using ES File Explorer).
I copy files to my sdcard that I want to store in /data/media directory, and then copy to
/data/media area where I want them to be stored. After copy and test, then delete from
sdcard.
I was then able to access the files in /data/media with ES File Explorer.
I use ES File Explorer to locate mp3 file for single play of music or use Meridian to play
albums.
I use ES File Explorer to locate avi file, touch file name and pop up suggests MoboPlayer.
Enjoy your Nook Tablet (rooted).

I'm using ES File Explorer on the NT to link to my PC via WiFi and copying over large media files to /data. Had a few problems with this at first, but a bit of Google research fixed it up.

If i use Wifi to transfer data, will it be consider as downloading??? because i have fixed amount data i can download...
Can somebody clarify that..
Cheers!!!

If you're PC and your Nook Tablet are both connected to the same router, then it should not affect any bandwidth caps you may have. No data is leaving the house.

I have been using Android Commander for Windows to see the Nook Tablet's file system. I am new to this software but I was able to download .apks to my pc then install to device, within Android Commander. I am also able to read, write, change Permissions, copy files, push files, reboot device, and more all from my PC. there might be better software, but this was free software and from a Dev from the XDA community. hope this helps somebody else, or start a conversation on alternatives or if their is better, but for now this is my choice. Thanks to PanPiotr for this Software.
I have searched and searched and cannot seem to find a solution for my problem.
I have just flashed v1.9.1 Resurrection Remix ROM and that went fine.
The only problem I am having is that I cannot view my 32GB external SD card in the File Explorer app, how I can fix this?
But the photos, videos and stuff appear in the gallery.
(In the app it won't let me jump to EMMC either which I assume is my external sd card)
Thanks.
Try this:
Open up File Explorer and hit menu, select "Preferences"
Change the home folder to "/" (make sure "read root" is selected)
Restart the app
You should now be presented with a list of the phone's root folders, just select emmc and your stuff should be in there.
Hope that helped

Thanks for that idea.
sometimes bugs are useful, without that I´d never tried another explorer. Thanks, solid looks graet.
Great mod I found and modified slightly for the Note II. Saves the music you download from Google Play to your external SD card instead of your coveted internal space which never seems enough. This is easy to do trust me I'm by no means an expert. Credit to skittles who actually credits someone else in his post.
--First off use Root Explorer or something likewise to create a folder on your external SD card named "MusicCache" (It's important to remember CAPS matters during this MOD).
--Next using Root Explorer again create a file named "MusicScript.txt" on your INTERNAL SD card. (Differentiate the two by using Root Explorer to navigate to storage. extSdCard is your external card. sdcard0 is your internal card.
--Download SManager from Google Play (Scripts Manager app). Use Root Explorer to navigate to the file you just created on your internal Sd card "MusicScript.txt" and open into a text editor (your choice doesn't matter, I use TED on Google Play). Type this exactly in "mount -o bind /storage/extSdCard/MusicCache/ /data/data/com.google.android.music/" Save it. IMPORTANT- Depending on what ROM your using your extSdCard may be called something different. Just use Root Explorer to navigate to the specific folders your binding together here and look at the top of the screen when your there. The entire path is written out there for you. This will show you if your card is named something different. CAPS matter!
--Open SManager and navigate to the "MusicScript.txt" file you just got done working on. Make sure the first time you open it you click the Search with Root option and grant it root access. You'll need root access for this. Click on the file and select "Su" (Superuser) and "Boot" (Boot option) located near the top and save it.
--Open settings and go into application manager. Find your Play Music (Google's music app) and force stop and clear data on it.
--Lastly, Reboot. If you did everything correctly you'll open Play Music app and have to reselect your account. Next go into select music for device and it should have your external Sd card space on the bottom instead of your internals.
Good Luck
This is sweet worked perfect! Is there a way to do the same for movies off google play?

This is cool.
I was using 1106K version of Play Music, because it was the last version that had support for the Nova Launcher SD selector activity. Now I can upgrade my Play Music version.
So I've rooted my wifes old nook tablet(bntv250), and it works great, if a bit slow(cm10-20121108-unofficial-acclaim) and I want to transfer some e-books to the internal storage. I can navigate to the location I want them in on the device from the device, but Windows only sees a .99gb internal storage that is empty. I can send some item using the send to kindle email, but want to know how to move items from an external sd card to the internal memory. The file manager is not intuitive in this respect(not like the one on my Samsung phone, which is not rooted). I've tried searching and can't find the info I need. The files I want to move are to big to use send to kindle email. Other than this one issue, I am really liking this thing now that it is rooted. Wish I had done it 2 years ago... TIA
You should be able to use a file manager app to copy/move content from SD card to internal memory. Which file manager are you using? FWIW, I use ES File Explorer and it works great -- with its "Root Explorer" option enabled you can access any folder/file.
Trying to use the one that came in the ROM, but I see no way of moving the files around. I had to get root access just to find the folder I wanted to put files into. And why can't windows see the internal memory?

The internal storage and the user-media are on two different partitions, standard Windows can access only one partition of a removable drive, in this case it's the user-media (FAT32) partition.

I can copy/move files from internal storage to SD Card if I use the built-in file manager. However, if I use any 3rd party file manager, the operation will fail. It is as though the SD Card is read-only. I can copy from the SD Card to internal storage just fine.
I've tried ES File Explorer, File Manager Pro, Solid Explorer and they all failed. I've given grants to write to the root of SD-Card. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
Try with a real file manager like

Mixplorer works great. Root Explorer also works.
Thank you for your recommendation!
I really don't get it. At first, nothing works. Then when I install Root Explorer and grant storage access to the root of the SD-card, it immediately works.
Then I tried MiXplorer and it also works. Now when I return to Solid Explorer and it is working now.
What's going on? Does Root Explorer unlock something which makes it "click"? I don't get it at all. I only hope it is reliable in the long run and not switching "on" and "off" randomly.

Root Explorer has been the ultimate for me. I bought the paid version when it first came out years ago. It always acomplishes whatever task I need it to do.
Not Working
Not working for me.. I am using Honor V10... recently, I installed the android 10 (EMUI 10) update via ota (over the air). I have tried Root Explorer, ES file manager pro, but no file manager is able to write to external card except default file manager (which is pre installed)
PS: My phone is not rooted.

I enabled the default browser and the HiCare app (actually they were not disabled, so I just opened them to complete their setup) but this did not help either.
I even formatted the memory card (using my phone "format card" option) and then reset my phone to factory defaults and set it up again from the beginning without restoring backups.
I still have not found a solution to thus issue, though.
Any ideas anyone?

I have similar problems relating to this thread on my mate 20 pro after updating to Android 10 (EMUI 10). I've tried all the methods mentioned here and it worked briefly before restarting the phone. After restarting the phone, it went back to being unable to copy files to External Storage.
I noticed that i was able to delete and rename files on the external storage but i just can't seem to copy anything into it.
I can copy files from the external card to internal storage but not the other way around.
Tried using MiXplorer, the only way i can copy files into the external card is by this method:
i copied the file and it shows error, but there's an image of the file created on the external card with 0 kb. Then i overwrite the file and replacing the '0 kb' file and it worked. And another method to just to use the built-in file manager which is a pain to use and the UI are crappy.
It was a lengthy method and therefore I decided to downgrade to Android 9 for now.
I also noticed i can't change the download directory of my Ttorrent app to any folder of my choice in external storage.
anyone can suggest a better method to overwrite this external drive issue? Thanks in advanced.

This this the "official" reply at the Huawei forums:
https://consumer.huawei.com/en/comm...-disabled-for-3rd-party-apps-!/topicId_90489/
Now, what I've come to notice is the following:
- All Huawei and Google apps I have tried, do have access to the memory card (e.g. Google Maps is allowed to save its offline maps on the SD card, the same for Google News and the articles it downloads)
- Some 3rd party apps do have access. E.g. Here We Go maps can save its maps on the external card. ASR Voice Recorder can save its recordings to a specific memory card folder, the one that is automatically created -on the card- by the app when it is installed on the phone. Maybe there are other app that we will find they can, too.
- So it seems that the rule is not general, as Huawei implies at that thread I have posted above.
My biggest concern was that MixPlorer has now limited use, and this is kind of sad as it was my favorite explorer.
Huawei Files manager is not bad, it's actually quite OK, but it bothers me that you cannot add 3rd party clouds on it. If it had that option I would be happy with it. I like it that it has that "favorites" option. For now I have created a folder "My Archives" on the internal memory and I initially save almost everything there (e.g. my Nova Launcher backups). Then I use Huawei Files manager to move them to the external memory card on the folders I want.

Hey that's a good idea of creating a temp folder on your internal drive before using Huawei file manager to transfer everything out to your external card. However it requires additional steps to get it done but it's a good idea nonetheless. Thanks for that suggestion. For me i'm so used to be using solid explorer to do all my file operations as it has google drive integration which makes it easy n fast to transfer between drives. So i guess my best bet is to downgrade to android 9, it's just much more comfortable to work with and in my opinion, android 10 is not that big of a deal and not much substantial changes anyway. Hehe.
Every reboot I always have this facing problem!
Sometime I must reboot because my smartphone switch off for low battery....
When I reboot try to disable and re-enable the special option in developer menù, also try to uninstall and after install again the memory card (from setup/memory menù).
After that try to copy some file to memory card with default file manager an default Gallery...
Sometimes it is enough sometimes I have to try more and more... But after several time it works!
