Moto X4 picture and video storage on SB card

[Android Central Question]

I would like to store pictures and videos only on my SB card and not use the phone's internal storage. How do I set the phone to do this?

Thanks for any information,
BF

Open the Camera app and swipe left to right. Tap Settings and then the Storage option, and set it to Memory Card and you're all set.

Videos are now showing up on the SD card but still using internal storage. How do I prevent this?

Thanks, BF

Welcome to the forums. How much internal storage are they taking, the full size of the video file or only a few kb? If they are very small files they could be just thumbnails/cache files.

I moved your thread to the X4 forum for better visibility.

The percentage of used storage changed from 54% to 59%. I'm not sure about the increase in GB but think that it went from 17 and is now 18.83 GB. The SD card is showing 1.44 GB used.

New videos?

Your old videos wouldn't have moved to the SD card with that setting.

This was a new video. I deleted all of the old videos.

Are you saying that your new videos are taking up the same space on both internal and SD card storage?

Yes.
