Trying to install microSD card

[mrsmumbles]

Hey, all. So, I'm having a senior moment (hour) and I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

I inserted the card properly and the phone says the card is mounted.

But I cannot see/find where it indicates the card is. I can use a file manager to see my files, but when I select "copy", the only choices I get to copy are on the same internal storage. Just copying duplicate files into additional folders I created.

How can I copy the files onto the card, instead of on the internal storage???

Please help! Thank you for reading.

try using es file explorer from play store.
confirm that you have granted permissions to app for SD card assess . to check this go to specific app settings and permissions and anable storage sd option

Are you using the sd card as portable or internal storage ?

Portable storage. Now, I'm not sure what I tapped to get files on the card, but at least I got some on there. Thank you for your reply!

That is a really good feature, especially if you don't collect a lot of media files.

I'm using ES File Explorer which seems more understandable than Total Commander. But I really want the two directories open to view, as in Total Commander. This is the most confusing way I have found to date, as to how to use the card.

And ES File Explorer took a wrong turn somewhere but it has succumbed to uselessness even worse than Tapatalk.

I use File Manager by ZenUI Asus .It is simple and has a lot of features.You can try it out. Solid Explorer gives two panels side by side.
I do have quite a few photos but I back them up so it's fine for me till now.

Thank you, I'll try that.

Thank you, I'll try that.

By the way , I had tried out the trial version of Solid Explorer and then paid to unlock all the features.
File Manager by ZenUI is free .

I don't require root access now , though Solid Explorer too has it.
