Try Astro file manager, it'll look something like this.

Sorry to hijack the thread but I may have a problem with my external sd card. When I plug my phone into my computer not everything is showing up. For example I have 395 pictures and only 23 are showing up in windows explorer. A couple other folders are not showing all the content either. Now, on the phone itself using solid explorer I can see everything that is on the card but on a handful of files the file extension is messed up (a pic has an extension of .jpg7673.jpg and when I change it I get a popup that says I can't rename because that name already exists). I have a class 10 64gb SanDisk formatted in exFat using Windows 7. Any solutions?

Im having issues locating my files on my external sd card, when i open es file explorer and go into the external_sd folder its empty, but my gallery is showing me all my pics from my sd card
any way to fix this or find my external sd card files?
thanks
are you on AOSP ROM? Does your computer show files on the external SD card?
It might in Removable folder?
Try look for it, im not sure
Are you going into /sdcard/external_sd?
That's where mine is...
I have this problem on my Original Galaxy Tab running ICS Alpha 3 ROM. The /sdcard/external_sd/ is empty. In my case, the external sd is mounted on /mnt/emmc/, which can only be accessed through Root Explorer.
Thank you mate, I just got an SD card yesterday and got baffled where it might be Too bad xda app doesnt support thanks feature :-(

So I just got my new phone today. I put in my 16GB MicroSDHC card from my old EVO 4G and things were okay until I connected the phone for the first time to my PC as a Hard Drive.
My guess is that an app was synch'ing to the SDCard when it was dismounted and wrote some files into the /sdcard folder that serves as the mount point. When it did this and I disconnected from the PC, the /sdcard folder was no longer empty so it mounted the SDCard as /sdcard2.
It now seems that the phone is still using /sdcard folder and not the /sdcard2 folder thus rendering the card unused.
Has anyone seen this? How do I fix it? I dismounted and erased the card. I even did a factory reset on the phone, but it didn't seem to erase files inside of the /sdcard folder so it still mounts to the wrong place.
In most apps you can't change where it writes its data but it's usually to the internal sd. When you plug your phone to your pc you can only browse your external sd.
/sdcard is the internal memory
/sdcard2 is the card you plugged in
When I plug in to my PC, I select the Media Sync option and can see both sdcards just fine.
I hope jelly bean fixes that, but then again I was hoping ics would fix it and that didn't happen.

Ah! Thanks for the responses. I've just done what I always had done with my older EVO 4G ... and couldn't see the folders I was expecting.
I feel better now. Too bad the normal disk drive USB option doesn't mount both...oh well.
If u root and use team win recovery you can select which SD card to mount from recovery. Not sure if this will help or not.

Is anyone having issues seeing folders on the internal drive when using media sync? For example, using ES File Explorer, I can see and SMS Backup folder and Angry Birds Backup folder. However, when I connect to a pc with media sync I can see some of the folders that are on the internal drive but not those. Anyone else having this issue?
Edit: I am still not sure why I am having this issue but I do have a bit of a workaround. I used ES File Explorer to move the folder I wanted to update to my sd card. Then I connected it to the pc and updated the folder. After that I went back into ES File Explorer and moved the folder back to the internal drive. I was able to update my SMS Backup etc.

problem i see though is i just made a nand and it saved it in the internal memory not to the external sd card but when I go to restore its not finding the backup I made.
If you use a file manager app, such as ES Explorer, to copy or move it to your external drive / sdcard2 / or ext_sd / then you can use twrp to restore it. hope that helps
Yeasterday I finally flashed CM9 and so far I love it but I have a rather annoying problem: I can't mount and access SD card from file managers. On the other hand, apps that use SD card (PowerAmp, Titanium backup, Apollo, Gallery etc.) read data without a hitch.
Right now, the only way to access the SD card's files is to take it out my phone and put in computer...
Please help...
Edit: does it have something to do with the fact I replaced CM9 kernel with Siyah 3.3.1.?

on aosp roms, the external sd card is mounted as /emmc/ and not /sdcard/external_sd/ which is why that folder might appear empty in file explorers

How come on the S3 Rootexplorer does not see the ext sd card? It only sees the internal sd

Go into the /mnt directory and look for the folder titled extSdCard.

I was looking for the same thing. I think its the way Samsung has labeled the internal memory as an SD.
Using the My Files app the SD card is labeled as extSD. Maybe Root Explorer needs to be updated.

I am rooted stock right now and I remember with my sgs2 on sprint when I event into root explorer (the app) I would click sd card(which would be internal storage) then inside sd card would be ext sd and that would be my sd card. I can't get into my sd card in root explorer only my internal sd. Anyone else have this issue?

You'll find the external SD card at /mnt/extSdcard.
been looking for it for almost 2 hours now. Was about to format my SD card until I read this. Thanks
