[Q] (Q) how to save files on internal memory

I have my nc rooted and im able to save files downloaded from tha defaulf browser but if i download something with dolphin browser for example, it asks me for the sd card. Is there a way to use the internal memory instead the sd?

In the Dolphin browser settings, just change the Download directory option to something like /media/download. /media is partition where user files are kept such as books & mags bought from B&N.

I changed that option but it still asks me for the sd card. I put /media/download

The only other thing I can suggest is to make sure that the Cache to SD option isn't on. But honestly, I have never tried the Dolphin browser without an SD card.

That cache option is disabled and its seems to be i just can't download anything without an sd card

I have the the same problem -- SD required for the stock browser, Dolphin HD and Miren. In Dolphin settings > download directory, I cannot change from the SD card.
I need to store certain things on internal memory (e.g. the amazon apk for the android store), but all browers I've tried REQUIRE downloads to go to SD. Any advice?

[Q] Did Google lift the Kitkat external sd card file write limitation?

While the external sd card file write limitation is still there for non file manager type app like say a youtube downloader like tubemate, it seems ES file explorer and Rhythm software File manager app are now free to do whatever they want with the external sd card. That includes creating folders, moving files to folder that they did not create like the DCIM system folder, etc. File managers type of apps now are free to do whatever they want with the sd card once again. I'm not sure but I read that this was a big problem with kitkat and non native file manager(MY FILES is Samsung native file manager). So I think Google realized that this was a pretty dumb thing to do to third party file manager type app and somehow allowed it to function fully again while maintaining restriction on other apps like tubemate which is still restricted to it's own directory on the external sd card.
I am not rooted on on stock Kitkat.

cannot set external sd as default path

hi guys i am can someone help me on how to set the external as default storage? when i am using UC web for downloading movies and changing the default download path to external it does not give me permission to set it, it like the external sd card is a read only..not R/W

How to see external SD storage in the file browser?

I have formatted a class10 32gb ADATA microsd card as internal storage, and sure enough, apps download and install automatically on the emulated internal storage on the external SD card.
All fine and dandy, however I can't seem to be able to see and browse the content of the sd card. I tried the stock file browser and root browser, but they only show the actual internal storage.

Have you give permissions to access sdcard?

apps download and install automatically on internal memory you have to move it to external memory manually .

Copying from network to SD card?

I've just bought an S2 9.7", and installed a Samsung 64Gb Micro SD card. I want to copy a load of videos from my Humax (which has a drive shared on my LAN) to the SD card on the tablet, but I've discovered that ES File Explorer doesn't have write permissions to the SD card. The native MyFiles app also doesn't have a way of accessing LAN shares.
Does anyone know of a way of copying files from a LAN shared drive to the SD card in the tablet without having to remove the SD card every time and put it in a computer (or into the Humax in this case)?
Edit: sorry I should have mentioned that I'm running Marshmallow, and am not rooted

When you use ES File Explorer it ask for root directory of SD Card or at least it should and that enables it to write to SD Card, there is also a LAN setting where you program domain, up, login, pass, etc. I am not home to try that right now with my NAS but I'll update as soon as I can test it.

Ah...got it. Thanks - ES File Explorer now has the necessary permissions.
