Is the only way to change the default directory to the External Card from the browser???? That seems odd.
Is there no way to have all downloads go to my External Card from within a setting on the Note 4 device?
If you are not rooted then no. That is limitation set by google. You can use pre-installed file manager to move files to sd card.

Is there a way to swap internal ans external sd card on the GN? I use extensively the storage, and I prefer my apps store their files on a random sd card.
So, I'm also searching an app that can tell other apps to store their stuffs on ext. sdcard. Many apps don t allow user make the choice.
Thanks!

Perhaps this app will do the trick for you:

You have to install DirectoryBind (link) so you can move app data to external sd card. You need root access though.
Is there anyway by which i can change my default downloading folder for Firefox or chrome to memory card
As by default phone saves to internal memory and do not allow me dwnload big files if low on internal memory

Dolphin browser allows you to change the download dir
Apart from that there's no way, try using FolderMount to put the download folder in external SD maybe
For those that are wanting more storage on your rooted Samsung Galaxy S4, (running SlimKat) there is no need to download an app or run a certain program through Terminal Emulator or any other program. The easiest way to accomplish this is simple. Just unroot your device, install your apps onto an external SD Card, unmount your SD Card, reroot your S4, install whatever ROM you want & THEN, & ONLY THEN DO YOU remount your SD Card & VOILA, you will have all your apps on your SD Card. Now, I understand that with some ROM's you can move apps to the SD Card, but with every ROM that I've flashed, you can't move them, so I had to find out a way to create more space & this was by far the easiest.
This may help

Why would you need to root or unroot to tap "Move to SD card" in the App info?
That option was not available for me while using the SlimKat ROM.

Hi all.
The sd card on my s3 lte failed. I managed to copy most of the contents onto my pc but lost all my photos and vids. When I copied the folders onto my new card I found it was 10gb full (16gb card). The main culprit is a file called languages which is 7.58gb.
What is this file?
I thought if it was languages for the phone then it would be on the phone, not the sd card.
Can I just delete it?
My phone seems to work fine without the sd card in...apart from the apps on the card.
Thanks
Matt

by ''new card'' do you mean its never been used untill now? or already used with current device or some other device?
im not sure but, if you had used this ''new card'' already, it could be that these languages belong to an app you used or are still using, for example like maybe a keyboard app (storing languages/predictions/data history) or navigation app. anyway if you say that the phone seems to work fine without it and your apps also then there should be no issues deleting this languages file. probably left on the card from an app that you dont use anymore..
