memory card issue

[MadMexican73]

I have a 16g tablet with a 64g card. As I'm downloading movies it keeps downloading them to my device and not my card. So once it's full it stops. How can I download them into my card and not device? I can't seem to find them on the settings.

Are you downloading directly from the web or a cloud storage locale? Or from your computer over a usb cable?

If you hold on a download link (press/hold), does it offer any option for where to download? Is there a setting in the browser where to download?

If not, use the FileManager to move files to the sd card.

I'm downloading from the Web. Amazon video to be precise. Should I go to my files and move them to the 64 card? I've gone there but cant seem to find the movie downloads

You might not be able to download Amazon stuff to your external card. They probably put the movies in a folder you can't get to. You do know the reason don't you?

As suggested, it is possible that Amazon protects the contents from access other than using its app(s).

Is this a video you have purchased? Are there restrictions on its use?

That's probably why. These are just prime movies. I haven't purchased them. Sounds. like a good reason though.
