you cannot move all folders to sd-card or generally in new path.
for example for whatsapp; that s the directory created by app itself and may use it in future
if you remove this folder whatsapp will recreate it when needed but maybe u miss some files from whatsapp.
(in Android 4.4.+ 3rd party Apps cannot create file in External Memory (only system app can do this))
sd-card is good for your media music, photos, videos
if you don't want to miss any important folder use this setting;
Settings > Storage > (scroll down) Transfer Data to SD card

Already did that.
What I want to do is avoid whatsapp and other apps to save media in local storage.
Is that possible? Thanks in advance.

So App won't do this
unless u use Root App
app that get root access (so u need to root ur device and etc.)
example of pre-install app is Camera App that has option to store both in internal and external but other app cannot do this.

My phone's already rooted. So I have to find a modified version of whatsapp ?
YES you can do what you want, get an app called foldermount, with that you can symlink ANY folder you want (including WhatsApp, large game folders, camera directory or whatever) from your internal sd card to the external sd card.
Edit: sorry you will also need handle external storage from xposed for it to be able to use the external sd
Your welcome

I set spotify to download two playlist in order to be able to play them in offline mode.
Spotify alone is occupying 7gb of my internal memory. How can I move those files to the memory card (sd) ?
Folder mount
I tried wiping my SD card but it is asking for a PIN password.
I have no idea what is it.
I tried 0000 1245 but failed.
Does anyone know?
Any info in any of those XML files?

For Gameloft games have a look at this app and thread. You can also use androids built in 'Move to SD' option if you go to Settings - Applications - Desired Game.

Yeah, I use GL to SD and have moved 12gb of game data to my external SD card. Works great.
Install the app, hit menu and select move data. Select the app you want data moves for and run it. Then you can just run the game from the app or hit mount in the app, then menu and select exit and open the app from your home or app screens.

for the moment not possible! Maybe in the future someone will make a rom who supports that
Gl to sd card only moves files. Apps will not work later. For example, I moved Max Payne to external sd card, and then when I launched the game, it asked to download missing files. What we need over here is an app that will automatically rout to sd card when clicked.
I tried App2SD, Link2SD and GLtoSD and none worked except for breaking Google Play, the only solution i found was Directory Bind.

Thanks, will give it a try. Weird thing, i've spent like an hour trying to figure out why can't move apps to sd...
Well Directory Bind can't move Apps it only moves folders, so you can move all the SD data and some of the folders containing the Apps but when you move it you have to leave the original folder on internal memory because it makes it impossible to delete, so you just have to delete the contents.
Anyone tried "super mount".app made by lidroid
Would this work?
I opened the script file using notepad, would you just change where it says "external_sd" to "extSdCard" and it would bind the folder and allow games to access the data from the external SD?
Just asking because I'm not sure if this would work on the S3...
I've found that a lot of people is upset about the impossibility of install your games or apps on the external SD Card, you have 32gb and you cant used them... it's a shame...:crying::crying::crying::crying:
BUT :victory: After losing my whole day on testing and research I wanted to share a simple way (Not the only one) to move the data of your games or apps from the Internal Sd to the (Real) Sd Card
I'll try to keep it simple: (You need to root your phone)
I'll do it for Need For Speed Most Wanted

1. Install your game (or app)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Run the game
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Wait for the game to download the data and play it just once (Just to know that it works :silly
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Install this amazing tool by slig
DirectoryBind

Thanks dude
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Open DirectoryBind
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Open the menu
Menu button on your phone genius
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Select "Add new entry"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. On "Enter Source" You put the folder of the External Sd Card that you want to use
(For example - a new folder on my sd card named "mnt\ext_card\My apps data\Android\data\com.ea.games.nfs13_na")
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9.On "Target Path You put the original folder where the data is
(For example -"mnt\sdcard\Android\data\com.ea.games.nfs13_na")
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. Check "Transfer files from target to data"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11. Wait for the app to finish the process THIS CUT THE DATA FROM THE INTERNAL SD AND PASTE IT ON THE EXTERNAL SD CARD :good:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12. Now everything should be ok and you just have to check that the little icon on the left of the link is GREEN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13. Open your game

14. PLAY!!!!!!!!

For the DCIM ( The camera images ) There's the option inside the camera app to chose the internal sd or the external sd ... However... YEAP :good: It works for other folders.

link2sd required partitioning on sd card which is quite complicated.. using this directory bind, there is no partition required.. simple tool..
Is there any other way to move our data folder to ext card without rooting ? thanks in advance !!
Hi
Someone plz tell me how to move fb and whatsapp in SDcard. From Manage Application Move to SDcard option is disabled also in App2SD unable to transfer it.
Is it possible????It consumes a lot of space....
For moving apps those do not support to move in SD by default, you need root access on your device & then use any app such as "DroidSail Super App2SD" to move them forcefully to SD card.

Moving facebook on sd card every time you open it, it will erase the data and you will have to repeat the account access.
If you have rooted device, you can use titanium backup to move them to SD.
The app has been moved to SD card, but i am not sure about data stored by these apps.
Data was still in phone memory, i guess.

I reply here because I spent a lot of time searching through very old posts and trying outdated methods. I didn't know that actually today there is a very easy solution to move whatsapp media folder to SD card. It perfectly worked on my Samsung Galaxy A3 A320FL:
1) Root (I used twrp + magisk method)
2) Download "App2SD" (the original by Vicky Bonick; it's free) and follow instructions on how to create partitions
3) Use "folder mount (app analyzer)" feature, which apparently was not considered in the old posts in this forum, so I suppose it was recently added to Apps2SD.
It's like folder mount, but it's pre-set for some common apps, including Whatsapp. With this feature, you can successfully move Whatsapp media folder to SD, in one clic.
In my case everything worked fine. When I reboot I have to re-mount folder, but it takes one second (just open Apps2SD, tap Folder Mount, slide "whatsapp other").
Hi guys im new here and i hope this is the right place to post this.
Im wondering if it is possible to make something like a symbolic link for android. Might be a stupid idea, but with the new android 4.4 kitkat that restricts apps from write access to external storages, i was wondering if i can work around it using symbolic links lol. I need a workaround because i use dropsync dropbox to wirelessly sync all of my media in my dropbox and only my sd card has enough free space.

I think you mean you want to link a folder inside internal memory to external SD Card.
So here is a workaround you can use.
Download "Folder Mount" from Play Store.
Then link the folder where app stores in internal memory to a folder on your external storage.
TAKE BACKUP OF THAT FOLDER BEFORE YOU START DOING ANYTHING.
Sometimes above app causes problems and may format/delete important data.

Thanks for your reply! So foldermount requires root access? I was hoping for a solution that didnt require root access. But if there's no other way i guess i have no choice.

Unfortunately the folder you are talking about (app data), requires root access to create a link.
So you need root access.
