Several times one could read that Google restricted access to the external SD card for Android 4.4, so that writing is only possible for some app inside its personal folder. But with Total Commander I can write everywhere on the sd card. My german Moto G 2014 with Android 4.4.4 is not rooted (by now).
Did Motorola change the platform.xml in a very user-friendly way or what is the reason that I can write to it?

Hello,
so, I came across the following article:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/android-5-0-sd-cards/
Now, I am wondering:
How exactly is external SD card storage handled on the Motorola Moto G 2nd Gen when having upgraded to Lollipop?
Can you put all apps onto an external SD card?
And does it have to be done manually for each app? Or does it happen automatically?
And what about encryption?
Does the Motorola Moto G 2nd Gen with Lollipop have an option to encrypt the external SD card storage?
Or can you only encrypt the device storage?
It would be much appreciated if someone could elaborate on this.
PS:
And could someone please tell how much device storage is left on a Lollipop updated Motorola Moto G 2nd Gen with 8 GB of device storage?
Regards
Anyone?
No, cannot move all apps to SD card...I have not tried encrypting the storage yet
As for available space, I have 3.07gb available after installing about 30 apps and caching two radio stations in slacker.
I have a Moto G 2014. I have updated to 5.01. I can't find the option to encrypt the SD card. Is this possible? If not what are my alternatives?
Thanks.
I'm using Moto xt1068 lolipop 5.1 already rooted. When I'm trying to save any document from email it shows SD card not detected. I'm able to view SD card in file explorer as well in phone settings. When I tried using another SD card its showing the same error ,Please help.

N00b here. How do you set global permissions to access Micro SD. No file manager allows me access to my SD Card.
Moto G5S Plus with NPS26.116-61 update.
Hi. I'm wondering how the heck do you move applications to the SD card on the Moto X4 (android one) on android 8.1? Not a single app I install (Pokemon GO, Discord) have the "change" button under apps and notifications->(app name)->storage... I'm honestly stumped. I can't format the sd as internal either...
Thanks.
The Moto X4 uses FBE (file based encryption) so you can not run applications off the SD. The SD can only be used for media storage.
