Hello i got my sgs3 today,i have inserted a 32gb sd card,but cant find a folder link to my ext card on es fileexploer
i rebember on my sgs2 i had a folder called extsdcard or something to acces my sd card??
can anybody tell me where it is? or how to do?

It's mnt/extSdCard
make sure you are in the main directory, under /mnt should be 2 files: "extSdCard" (external card -your 32gb card) and "sdcard" (internal card)
can also try just "MyFiles" if FileExplorer is giving you issues, that's what I use when not using Astro

thanks i found it,but it dident show mnt without showing hidden files,im using a app called websharing who i like very much,
but on that app it does not show mnt folder just internal card,i dident have any problems on my sgs 2 with that,because it was a folder in internal card linking to my sdcard.. is it a way to make a folder linked to sd card on internal memory??
thanks for all help
Yes.
First create a folder on your internal sd (/mnt/sdcard) called external_sd (you can name it whatever you want but for compatibility reasons you should choose this)
Then use the following tool to bind-mount /mnt/extSdCard/ to /mnt/sdcard/external_sd

You can just press the Favorite button on the es file explorer. Your external SD card should be shown there as /mnt/extSdCard/

Hey guys,
Sorry if this is a dum question but i cant figure out what the issue is. I have a 4gb micro sd card in my Vegan Gtablet. I can go into es explorer and see the sdcard 2. I have been able to create a folder in that sdcard 2. When i take it out the folder is gone so i know that is the place i need to be. Anyways When i try to move media files from sdcard to sdcard 2. It gives me a error and wont move it. What am i doing wrong or am i missing something?
Any help would be great. Thx.
have you tried using Root Explorer to make the folder r/w? I'd like to understand the difference between the sdcard and the sdcard2. I have my gtab (vegan) mounted currently to my pc, and i see sdcard as empty and sdcard2 with files, but when i had no card in, the sdcard had the contents and sdcard 2 was empty.... Anyone have insight on these folders?
sd card2 issues
I am also running vegan on my gtab. my computer can not see sdcard2 (external card) but I can transfer files to it via usb drive using adao file manager. when I shutdown my gtab the files dissapear. Is there a fix that will allow us to use the sdcard2? Any help is appreciated thanks in advance.
I went and used root explorer and gave me error that its a read only system. Im trying to move media files from my built in gtab memory to the micro SD card? How can this be done? Help !!!

There should be a button at the top of the file list to change from RO (Read only) to RW (Read Write) file systems.
When i went into Sdcard 2 no such option. When i went to Sdcard there was. When i went back and held down on SDcard 2 and went to permission that is where i got the error.
Did you format the micro sd card correctly? I had some problems and then formatted it on my PC to FAT32 (make sure you back up your files on the card beforehand to your PC) and all was ok. I can transfer files to it via es file explorer or Astro.
vcs11 - your computer won't show your micro sd (sdcard2), only the internal storage. Disappearing files on sdcard2 seems to be pretty common. For a solution search the forum for ".nomedia" file.
Hello XDA,
I am running on android 4.0.3 teamhacksung`s (BUILD 14) i have an external sd card 16gb of memory i use the "Gl to SD" app to transfer my games i tryed to transfer a game and after all the files where moved i tryed to acces external_sd from my SGS I9000 nothing in there.. then i mount my phone to the computer and look and the folder with gameloft appeared what is suspicios is that when i transfer a file in external_sd it is there but if i mount my phone and sd and look on my computer it isn`t it seems it is a different place? or the file manager doesn`t work or idk but please help
Yours sincerely ,
Nick
+ i just deleted the external_sd folder from my internal sd card it was supposed to enter my external sd card from there i deleted it becouse it had 0 space that`s what it said now how do i view my external sd???
i still didn`t resolve the problem :-??
On teamhacksung's ROM (and on many other such as CyanogenMod) your external sdcard is mounted in a different path: you can find it in "/mnt/emmc/" or "/emmc/".

thanks a lot!!!!
I cant seem to get files from external sd card within some programs.Like psx4droid or FPse.When it comes to select bios,it shows me a file browser.There is one folder "sdcard" but its the internal sd card and i cant find the directory for the external sd card.
yeah,yeah,10 gb are a lot of but i want to use my sdcard too
Samsung have moved the location where it's mounted to and some apps which are hard coded can't find it.
If you can go up a directory from sdcard to mnt you will then find extSdCard containing your ROMs.
yeah,my bad.i found it!
thank you very much
Hello,
I did bought orginal Samsung mincro SD card 32gb class 10. I did put inside to the phone and first what i did after phone did show me space 29gb i did format it from phone options in settings of storage. After format i did reboot my phone just in case. Now i did plug in phone to my pc and all do work fine. My pc see Internal and external storage on my phone. After when i did copy files to my external memory of my phone and do unplug micro usb i cant see my external sd card on my phone. In apps like winamp/RockPlayer/BSPlayer/ES File Explorer...all what i can see is only sdcrad which is internal memory. I cant see external memory at all.
Best thing is when i do put movie anywhere on external sd card by usb/pc and run build in samsung app "Video Player" its see video form external sd! I dont know whats going on and i did have S2/Dell Streak/Note and never had problem like this before.
Any help would be nice.

Thank you for link but i dont need data transfer. My problem si why i cant see external sd card in any of apps. When i do swich on winamp there is music from external sd card, when i do swich on build in video player i do see videos form external sd card but there is no way i can explore external sd card using any of explore apps or any other app where you can search files by folders. There is no Root folder or mnt.
Oki small update. I just did give a go to one more app "Root browser lite" and i can see all folders and sys files. Looks like problem is with moust of apps which can't handle way of G3 works with external sd card. I'm right?

Yes you're right. The s3 and other devices that have like 16/32 GB internal memory uses part of it for system and the rest is mounted as "sdcard"when infact it's internal memory. In addition to this sdcard there's the real sdcard which is mounted as external-sdcard. Many apps are programmed to look for only sdcard and not ext-sdcard. For such programs creating a symlink using the above tool that I posted will help it "see" contents/folders of the ext-sdcard.
As you mentioned some programs can and some can't browse/see ext-sdcard - if it's absolutely necessary, creating a symlink is the only option I can think of.
Hi,
I'm currently using JellyBam rom.
The problem is that when I'm using whatsapp, I can't download images, or create backups.
I think the problem is that the rom created a separate folder for the SD card, instead of mounting it in my internal memory.
How can I mount my external SD to my internal?
Or are there other fixes for my problem?
First of all, you don't need two threads for this, i recon an admin will remove it soon. Please only create ONE thread.
Om Jelly Bean, samsung made a seperate folder for your external sd files (providing that you have one) in mnt section. In you file explorer go to mnt folder there you will see an ExtSdCard folder. There you have all your external sd files.
You say you have problems with WhatsApp saving it on the external sd? If this is the case then just set the defaulr storage place to internal sd card?
Also before JB the external sd wasn't "mounted" in internal. The file was just located inside the sdcard folder. Now sdcard folder is sdcard0 and external sd is ExtSdCard as mantioned above
If you found an answer, dont forget to thanks
Or any further questions, just reply.
