How old is the SD card?

There's no write protect tab on a microSD card.

Since KitKat, though, the card is part of the phone's file system (it used to be just an "external storage device"), so it's subject to the same permissions system as the rest of the phone's storage. An app can only write to a folder it has permission to write to (which normally means a folder it owns), unless the phone is rooted and you're using an app that runs as root to move the file.

(I don't agree with Google's decision to make that change, even though their logic IS logical. but that's the Android we have now, so we have to learn to live with it.)
