How to move apps to External storage in Android M?
I have a Moto e 2nd Gen (4g LTE) and I currently updated to the new Android M.
Although I saw the new "adopt" feature of android M, I decided that it was not convenient for me and I decided to keep my SD card as external storage (portable card).
However, I quickly noticed that I could not move any apps to my external SD. Such a feature was available in Lolipop, which treated SD cards as external storage only. In fact, when using Lolipop I have moved some apps to the SD, which are now also available and stored in the SD using Android M. I know that in Lolipop not every app could be moved but at least for the apps that could be moved I was offered this option. Now, in android 6 I am not even offered this option and it gets even more confusing when I see that this option is available for compatibility reason for apps already in my external SD. ( This means, that this feature is actually supported but NOT OFFERED in Android M).
So my question is: Can you please enlighten me on whats happening? How can I move an app to SD just like I did with my lolipop?
To be clear, I am not willing to use SD as internal storage space. In my lolipop, I moved the apps using the features offered natively from android (so no "app" was used). I would prefer solutions that would work in a similar way and if not available then use an "app"
