Hi, I'm coming from a SGS i9000b to a SGS3, and I neved had problems before syncing photos from the external sdcard to my computer when connecting my phone via USB, but now it reads the internal sd memory only (which is empty, since I decided to store photos on the external sd to save space).
Anyone know how to fix this?
I'm using the UK BLG8 firmware version, and my PC's running Windows 7.
Thx.
Check the settings when you open Dropbox app
Use thanks button if I helped
No, I'm not having problems with uploading (I guess I'll have to change the thread title)
The problem is that photos from the external sd card wont sync with my computer when connecting the phone via USB through the dropbox PC program.
I hope I make myself clear.

It took me about an hour with my new baby to find out why I hate MTP.
I copied a movie file from my PC to the S3 using MTP. In the middle of the process my Windows Explorer crashed.
As a result I now got a movie on my sd card which I can't watch, but cannot be deleted either.
Do I really have to format the sd card again? Or is there another solution?
I hope Mass Memory Mode will have a come back on this device.
Those who are better advanced using MTP please advice...
Issue I am coming from a VZW Thunderbolt my old SD card is in the S3. It still seems to pickup ringtones, videos, pictures from the ext. sdcard. As we know we cannot see the ext card or save to the external card. So I am a bit lost how to manage myself since the S3 pulls in some files from the ext sdcard but I cannot save or see that card using the S3.... Do I still add certain files to the MTP space and drop using the ext. sdcard or try to figure out what the MTP can see and manage both storage areas?
How do you handle data that is on the ext. sdcard with the built-in storage MTP?
If I go all MTP...is there a way to back that up to say the ext. sdcard via from the S3?
When I do a Clockworks backup I assume that goes to the MTP space?
Thx fam any input is helpful...
I don't like using MTP because it always seems unreliable when copying multiple files. I prefer to install SwiFTP on the phone and run that as an FTP site while connecting to it from Filezilla on my computer. Then you can transfer files wirelessly via FTP. I find it to be more reliable when copying lots of files.
I've seen other similiar thread about data on SD card suddenly loss in this forum. but apparently nothing that have similliar problems with mine. I have LG L70-D325 running stock KitKat 4.4.2 ROM with 16 GB SD card installed from V-Gen. before all the data is missing, I was accessing my SD card via USB cable to my PC. I was copying my pictures from Internal Storage to my External SD Card. suddenly, a dialog box pop up on my PC says that "system cannot bla bla bla" so I press cancel right away. after that, I check my data on my SD card via PC and it's still available. then I remove my device from PC by pull out the usb cable (I totally forgot to change the PC Connection from Media Exchange into Charge Only before pulling it out). when I open my gallery, there are no files in my SD card, so I check it via Root Explorer. what I found is all the data is gone, just a view folder from installed apps on my internal storage. before I lose my data, I was uninstalling an apps called Folder Mount. there are a picture folder that still mounted from Internal storage into External storage. the differences between my problems with other thread is that I still can access my SD card without a problem. I shutdown my phone and insert my SD card via card reader and my PC can access my SD card like usual, but all my data on it still missing. I've tried using GetDataBack for FAT for about 6 hours and still can't find my missing data. is there anyway to recover all my missing data since all important files is in there including my assignment paperwork. buying or replacing with a new one for me is unacceptable since all I need is the data on it.
I've had luck with this tool before:
http://download.cnet.com/MiniTool-Power-Data-Recovery-Free-Edition/3000-2094_4-10561431.html
I used the paid version and recovered 300 GBs from a 3 TB hard drive (twice - long story...). But, saved my behind. Hope it can help you...
If you can connect it to your PC, Disk Drill can scan it. Try any free data recovery tool
I thought I had lost a whole day worth of footage from a shoot I was at on 9-11-15. I had a drive go bad today that I didn't backup like I should have done and spent all day looking and searching for any kind of backup and recovery software. I accidentally found free tools: Recuva and Disk Drill on the web and figured, hey it's free...why not try them. Well, 20 minutes and 52 gigs later, I'm back in business.
Hi P9000 users!
I had now time to test some stuff with my P9000. One question: I inserted a Sandisk 128 GB SDXC Card (UHS) and formatted as internal Storage (want to move apps). Worked fine for the Phone and i was able to move apps to the SD. But after connecting Phone to USB (via MTP & unlocked phone) it only shows 32 GB internal SD. Also via File Explorer app on the phone i cannot find the external SD or mountpoint....
Anyone with same issue? I also changed connection-type to USB and then my OS (Win 10) does not open phone file system at all.
thx and br

We did an article about the SD card memory management in Marshmallow a while ago on the XDA portal that explains this, I'd suggest googling for it as I can't remember the title.
Edit: Something to do with the SD card being formatted as Ext4 (linux file system standard these days) and Windows not supporting Ext4 filesystems.
Thx for reply, so i am afraid its related to Android 6 default behaviour. So if SD is formatted as internal storage you cannot access via USB from PC or managing files on it via file browser app? Thats really disappointing for me since it then switches SD card to enhanced app storage only, useless for image, videos, music etc. Of course i can format as portable SD, but then no movement of apps are possible (via root its maybe the only option).
In SD portable mode, i also had issue that SD cards randomly disconnects and one time it even needed to be reformatted. Have read about that in another thread, that this is related to physical sd mount... will see to fix this with some tape :/ (gives me not a good feeling here)

Update: checked some forums and blogs, seems not to be android 6 default behavior that you completely cannot access the files on adopted SD-card anymore. after adopting as internal storage... anyone could also reproduce this? I will try doing factory reset with SD-Card inserted..
Hello,
So I have a problem. I took a photo and was trying to upload it on WhatsApp but my phone would not let me. I checked my Gallery and it said 0 Pictures/Videos. The phone decided to delete (or hide) all my pictures and videos. Now, when I go into my phone's Settings/Storage and USB/SD Card, I can see that there is data worth 3.6GB that is taking space on my SD card but it's not showing up anywhere.
I tried to re-scan my SD card using the "media Re.Scan." app but it didn't work. I have been wracking my brains at it for a couple of days now.
I just want to know if there is any way to force my phone to read the data that is there on my SD card, or to recover those pics and files that are hiding on my SD card. Please note: My phone is not rooted and I formatted the SD card as an internal storage so it only works on my phone. I cannot connect it to my laptop (Macbook). I tried to connect the phone with the USB cable and it does not show up on my laptop at all.
Please help! I need my pics and vids!
Thanks in advance!
