I have an S4 with a brand new 32gb Class 10 sd card. I want to make sure that all of my pictures and videos are stored on the SD card and not the internal storage. I also, don't want them stored on both. Is there a setting for this? On a side note, is there a way to auto install apps to the SD card?
Thanks!
Camera app. Menu soft key, settings, cog wheel, storage, set to memory card.
And no.

is there a way to change the default storage to the external SD card. I already changed the settings in the camera, also in the built in web browser however whenever I download anything (via chrome), my downloads always save on the internal SD. same prob. when I download from the xda app. I now have multiple download, tapatalk, camera, etc. folders in the gallery due to this.
In My Files, use the menu key > Settings to change the default file locations for five types, downloads not included.
Since ICS/JB? Apps aren't installed to the SD card. Sucks with only 9gb total

When you select an app to be stored in the Multimedia, is this app stored on the internal sd or external sd, I supouse is stored in the internal by default if so is there a way to change it to the ext sd?
Select Menu on home screen > Manage Apps > select the app you wish to move to SD > select "Move to Media Area"
It will move to the desired location and in turn give you the option of moving back to phone.
It's stored on the internal sd card (multimedia). I haven't found a way to change that. There is an option in Titanium Backup that lets you pick whether to move an app to the internal or external sd card, but I've never tried it.

How come every time I download a file within my browser it saves it to the internal storage, is there a way to have it set to the SD card? I set my pictures do the same but for some reason before flashing the new SFB it would save to internal. As far as apps as well, since data is saved like notes on the SD it is now saved on the internal ? ?
Set your storage location to SDCard in the settings.

I did but every app folder gets saved on the internal, your talking about where it says Windows Media Sync and you choose SD CARD ? because I did that already before and everything gets sent to the internal card
If you go into setting for Pictures, Videos, or music, each has a storage location. I have not checked the others (Kindle, ect)

Picture and video is in the camera app, but what about browser when I download a pdf file from a website. ? also my app like SMS BACKUP the file automatically saves to the internal SD card anyway to turn that off...
If you go to settings, storage, storage location settings, you can change storing between internal memory or your sd card.
There is no option to save third party app data to sd. Or am i missing it?
Everything send to be saving to the internal 16GB, not my sd.
Should i download a third party app to do this?

Ok so I have a 32gb s3. And a 32gb class 10 micro sd.
My question is:
What should I save on the internal memory and what should I save on the micro sd? Just curious

I would store all of your apps on internal memory, and any large files on the microSD card. That way your apps are accessing fast internal NAND flash, and your large files are portable on the micro SD in case you need to move them.
^^ always a good policy. Music, movies, rom files, etc.. have always had their place on the external card. However, with the 32GB internal storage, you may find yourself moving more stuff to internal storage as it becomes more an issue of portability than memory management.
IMO apps should definitely stay in phone memory so that they load more quickly and work with the external SD card removed (when sharing files or moving stuff around).
I would advise that pictures be kept in internal storage because of the generally higher failure rate of external cards. We've had corrupted cards sweep across the first Galaxy S device, and a lot of people lost a lot of data this way. I've had all my internal/external files backed up to 3 cloud storage solutions ever since, using this awesome app: FolderSync.
It may not be a bad idea to occasionally back up important files (like pictures and documents) to the external storage.
Thank you. As far as music and photos?
Where do you think these are best kept?

Apps can no longer be stored on external storage. Thanks to Google, they coded android to only allow apps access to internal storage, even with apps such as apps 2 sd it is no longer possible. If you root, you will have to move your titanium backup file over to external sd card, and then go under preferences in TB and change the default location. The new cwm will still write to your sd card but that's it. Your very lucky to have gotten the 32gb model, because 16gb could be filled up if your a gamer because of how much data modern games store. You will have to manually move music, movies, and any other large files to your external card. There is a very long thread about this in the international models forum. Also, I believe there's an app that can move game data to the sd card, you have to be rooted & you will find the link to it in the forum that discusses this issue. I hope this makes some sense to you, it's kind of odd & it took me about a week to even discover it.
Thanks bro. Makes sense.
What are you guys using to move files around from internal to external and vice versa

If your phone has an sd card in it, the first time you use the camera app it will ask you if you want to store photos on your sdcard or extsdcard, choose extsdcard & they will be on your external sd card in a folder called dcim. Only apps that are preloaded on the phone are allowed access to the external storage to write. If/when cyanogen mod comes to our phone, then apps will be able to be stored on extsdcard as usual because cm is built from source, and they have recoded(I guess that's how u would say it) this area of the Android system. So... Stored on extsdcard.... Then pics will be safe, hope I've helped.

You can actually us the stock app called "my files" or a number of third party apps. I use my files or sometimes esFile explorer. Just long press the file you'd like to move and from the list that pops up select copy, cut, or move. Then go to the area you want to the file in & if using esFile explorer touch the button at the top of the screen that says paste, or if using my files press the button at the top that says done. Hope I've helped ya out....
I noticed that when I take pics or download a file it doesnt save to my sd card. Instead it saves to internal storage. Anyway to change this to default to the sd card. Im coming from the GNex and its been awhile since I had to use a sdcard.

In the camera, click settings and scroll all the way down. One of the last options is where to save pics. Default is phone, but you can set to memory card. Keep in mind that burst mode will only save to the phone memory.
Save locations for the browser and other places are configurable in the respective app.
