Copying files problem

[quarrymanpaul]

I've installed ES file manager and any time I try to copy a file internal storage to my Sd card I get a copy failed error.

Seems to be the same with Astro file explorer.

However it works I plug the phone into usb and use Windows Explorer.

What gives? Is this an permissions issue?

Gah. That's VERY annoying. So I can't move files to my sd card manually unless plugged in via a USB cable?!

Yup. The SD Card can only be modified by plugging it into a computer. It's a 4.4 thing, not a HTC thing. I've had 4.4 on my Nexus and it is the same way.
