How to change the default storage location to a memory card if there's a work profile on the phone?

[Android Central Question]

I can't change the default storage location on my Mate 20 lite while I have a work profile. It asks me to "delete users first". When I delete the work profile account it works fine but I really need to have a work profile on this phone. I already tried switching work mode off and it doesn't work either.

You have to check the settings of your work profile maybe can enable permission.I'll leave a link to register so you can communicate here , as a guest account you can't.https://forums.androidcentral.com/showthread.php?t=409154

Basically you have a choice of profiles or changing the default storage location, but not both. (Android isn't really designed for work situations. It never was, and it probably never will be. Neither does/will iOS. For work you use a laptop or a desktop, with an OS that can fully support multiple profiles.)

It may be a restriction put in place by the company, to prevent someone from copying company files to the SD card in the phone then taking them elsewhere. As was said - make the choice. You could also ask your IT folks about it but they're not likely to budge, and complying with whatever policies are put in place is likely a condition of employment.
