hello everyone
sorry about this as i'm very new to the tablet thing,
I bought a sd card reader which goes into bottom of the tab 2 ,same place as charger.
when i inserted a sd card nothing happens on the tab.
I would like to move photos from my camera sd card straight to the tab ,as when on holiday i might not always have access to a computer.
Is this possible?
The man in car phone warehouse told me it is, but i need an app and he didn't know which one.
can anyone help please
thanks

Use an App like MYFILES or FILEXPERT to copy from your tablet to the external SD card. These apps work something like Windows Explorer.

When you start a new thread it is good to be more descriptive in your title "Help moving files to external sd card"

thankyou very much for the reply. I see you've written that i can copy files from the tablet to the external sd card with the apps you mentioned , but can i copy files from the external sd card to the tablet?
thanks for the help

You can move files both ways with a file explorer. Your tablet should have come with one installed, but you can probably find more intuitive options in a third party app.

ok thanks for the help. just off to work. i'll try the apps that extraclass mentioned and see if that does the trick. I think i found the file explorer that is built in to the samsung galaxy tab2, but it didn't pick anything up when i put the card reader in and a sd card into that.
thanks

i'm not sure if anyone has read my question properly.
I want to ( if possible) transfer photo images from an sd card taken on my camera , to the samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0, via a card reader i bought which fits into the slot at the bottom of the tab. (charging slot). can anyone advise please. I've been to various shops where i live and no one seems to know the answer. I would have thought this would be an obvious requirement so you can view photos with friends while on holiday etc
thanks

Hi...do you have a micro sd card inserted in your tab as well? I have the card reader you are talking about and have transferred a lot of photos with it. When you open up My Files you will see sd card which is the internal hard drive. If you have also inserted a micro sd card, that file shows up as ext sd card. That is where I store all my photos as the internal storage is only about 4gb. I have my photos in separate folders. If u want that...open my folders click on ext folders...top rt corner press on folder with plus sign and create your folder. When u have your sd card reader plugged in a third folder will show up...usb a folder...your photos r in there....when they show up you can copy/paste or cut/paste them.....I think you'll want to copy them so don't use the scissor icon...that will remove all the photos off your camera card. Select your pics, select the copy/clipboard icon then press the folder you want them to go in then press the clipboard icon again and they should transfer...nt
