How to move files onto SD card in Samsung Galaxy Tab 3?

[Sarobi]

Hi there,

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 tablet with a 32GB SD Memory card installed, BUT even though the tablet native memory is full, I cannot move files or reroute them to the SD card which has 29.6GB available.

Can someone who has had experience with this problem please help me?
My "factory" (16GB memory) is totally full and the tablet will not function properly.

Many thanks in advance!!!

Go to Apps (press on Icon)
Go to “My Files” Folder.
You will be given an option to choose between "Device storage" and SD memory card. Choose Device storage.
Go To “Download” (this is where I tried this method. Not sure if it will work in other Folders).
Check the files you want to move (there is also the option of selecting all files by checking the blank box that aligns with the blank boxes next to each file. Should be at center top of screen).
Ensure you have a side pane window (left) that allows you to see all folders within the My Files Folder, along with the Downloads folder files (in my case). You should have those two window panes visible.
Look for “extSdCard” folder.
Place finger on file you would like to move and leave finger pressed for a few seconds until it turns a different color (mine turned a transparent blue). You can now manipulate (move) the file.
Note: If you have multiple files that you would like to move, you only have to place your finger on one file. This will automatically choose all checked files. You will see a number to the right of the transparent box with the number of files you “have chosen”.
Place file(s) into the extSdCard folder. If you have created a folder within your SD card where you would like to move the file(s) place file there.
This will move each file, one by one, into the extSdCard. Each file, depending on size, will take from a second to a few seconds.

Thank you! Yours is the first thing that has worked. I have been trying for ddays! U are awesome

Thanks a bunch... It really works, you can select multiple files at once, doesn't need to do it one by one... works. thanks.

Go to Apps, Select MyFiles, there you can move files between internal memory and SD Card. I did it yesterday with a bunch of files, works.

Go to "My Files" . Access Standard Storage, i.e. what the tablet came with. Also open up SD card and both
sources will show in vertical list . On the standard list highlight what you want to move to the sd card. Hold
this file and it will show an somewhat pop out window same almost invisible copy of what you want to
Move to the sd card. Move it to where you want on the sd card card and drop it.

Go to settings. Highlight applications. You will see for each application you hilight
A box that says move to sd card which is not with grey background if you tab that
It will move that app to the sd card.The app will still work as normal.
Now if you want to free up space on your standard storage go to files that show on the standard storage, hi light it with your stylus, i.e. it will pop up hold the stylus on it and move it to the sd card.Now if you want to caterize where you want the files such as memos. You go to files and tab new file and label it Memos and this will be a sub file in "my files"

I have not used a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 - But it looks like you can change the save location from My File. All new files will be saved to the SD card rather than the actual tablet, and you should then also be able to move files from the Tablet to the SD card. Here is a tutourial that may help: How to Set the Default Download Location to an SD Card
