How to turn the "External" SD card into "Internal" storage on "Nougat". NOTE: If you don't reboot the phone, many things may not work correctly, so make sure you do.

How to turn the "External" SD card into "Internal" storage on "Marshmallow". NOTE: If any of the steps are missing on your phone, or they don't work for you, then you have a phone that either has an older Android version or has been restricted by the manufacturer. And third, you need a phone that has not been restricted by the manufacturer from making this change. Second, you will need the instructions I am including below. This, however, doesn't always work on all devices.įirst, you need to be using a phone that is running at least Android "Marshmallow" or be able to upgrade to it. The only other way I know of, other than doing as you stated which is to save to the phone and then move to the card, would be to see if the device can be changed to make the SD card "Internal" storage. There are other apps out there you can try using which may allow you the option to save to the card rather than the device. That is, at least, if you are using the default email app. This would leave you having to save them to the "Internal" memory and them move them to the SD card as you stated. Unfortunately I know of no way to have the device save only emails to the SD card if the option of where to save them is not within the apps direct settings.
