means if my device is stolen then sd card data remains unprotected,
Is there any way to protect the data?
Dunno, the SD Card is intended to be used portable storage and to be swapped between devices should you wish, if you encrypted it then that wouldn't be possible.
Anything you wish to be encrypted i suggest you store it on the phone itself.

I have been thinking of installing the Marshmallow update but I've been very hesitant to do so because all the problems people are having. I want to ask how to deal with the micro SD card issue. If I adopt it as internal memory, how do I get media files loaded on it as it is encrypted and can't be seen by any other device. (i.e your computer?). If I adopt it as regular external memory like with lollipop, how does the internal memory cope with not being able to move apps to the external SD card?. Thanks!!

Much people are confused about the SD card adoption on Marshmallow. When you adopt the card as internal memory on Moto G 2014 (I own LTE EU version, but it's the same on all Gs) ALL THE FILES ON IT get erased, so backup it all. You can load it from the computer after the process, because yes, the sd it's encrypted but if you connect it to the pc (directly) you can trasfer files like on all previous version of android. If you adopt as external memory nothing will change from the common use of SD in lollipop and previous.
Sorry for the poor english

Thank you!! What do you mean connect the SD directly to the PC? Not when it's in the phone? I have an SD adapter on my laptop can the computer read the SD card using the SD adapter?

Yes, the computer can read it with an SD card adapter.

. Great! Thanks for your help. Do you have Marshmallow on your phone? Have you had any problems with it?
I have Android 6. I've never had problems with the OTA update to marshmallow, and my Moto G was previously rooted so it have unlocked bootloader. Rather Android 6.0 improved the connection with my wearable Moto 360 1st gen. Anyway if you think to adopt the SD as internal storage be sure to take an High class SD card (Something like Samsung evo/evo+ or better pro/pro+) because if it brokes, you will be in serious troubles and data loose

. Thanks again for your feedback. I am using aSanDisk Ultra HC 1, 32 gig MicroSD card. Is that going to be OK to adopt as internal memory?
I'm using lenovo A7000 and recently updated marshmallow and chosen 32GB SD card as internal memory. It was worked as internal memory perfectly quite some time, all of sudden I got message that SD corrupted and doesn't show data stored in the card, it shows zero files, I lost all media files!! However USB storage option in settings SD card shows 6.5GB used out of 28GB. Since it's treated as internal memory I'm not able to read the card as drive in other devices/computer. I have important media files and documents in SD card and I didn't backup them. I'm bit worried!!! How to recover the data from SD card. I assume if SD card changed back to portable, it will format and lose data!!! Please support
Hey , are you using stock original rom of lenovo a7000?

Phone is not recognizing SD card, shows it's corrupted. Phone doesn't have enough space!! Btw, how to migrate data from encrypted SD card to internal memory?
Follow your way through this article: https://nelenkov.blogspot.ro/2015/06/decrypting-android-m-adopted-storage.html
You should be able to read the SD card on a Linux PC.
Same problem
i also encounter this problem now with the same unit of phone and still i'm looking for the solution on how to fix the concern. can anyone help me how to fix the problem.
Hi guys,
I have hard-reset my Moto G 2nd Gen after some confusion. I have taken the SD card out of the phone before resetting it. Now after hard-reset, when I insert my SD card into the phone, it says "Unsupported SanDisk SD card" and ask me to format it to use either as a portable storage or as internal storage.
This card has some important data of mine, e.g. Photos, whatsapp backup and few other backups. How can I solve this problem? I want to use this card as is in phone. Can I take backup of it's data if it's required to format this card?
I know I have asked too many questions, I hope you can understand my situation here. :crying:
If your SD card was formatted as internal storage it's almost impossible to get the information back since when you format an SD card as internal storage it gets encrypted and the key is stored in the device, so when you hard reseted your phone the key was lost, that's why it can't be identified.

as you said "almost impossible", is there any way to get the info back? Moreover, if I had left the card in the phone, would it have changed the encryption of sd card?
It most probably would've been the same if you had left the card in the phone. By the way you may want to take a look a this "Decrypting Android M adopted storage"

Thank you for sharing this page. This is a very good article, but it talks about having the key from device, which I certainly don't have. So, it seems I can't use this method to recover my data.
I, however, used some data recovery software on this card, which would show some data, but not all. Can you suggest me some good software to recover data from this card?

Hello. Did you ever figure out how to get the data off your SD card? I am in the same boat. I thought I was safe having everything backed up on there, but, nope...
Thank you
Hey devs is there any way to remove the type of encryption that lenovo make while formating the SD Card As Internal storage so, it cant be used in any other device after formating it as internal storage
There were many important files in my sd card but now i cant access to my lenovo phone and i need that data from that SD Card To Pc via a card reader but there's that type of encryption in my sd card is preventing me to do this as it is formated as internal storage
So is there any way to get data from my sd card without having my phone?

No way. Internal storage format was made to be usable only with the phone. That's why it is "INTERNAL" format.
Phone is necessary.
Also, another recommendation. Do NOT turn on your phone with internal formatted SD card out of device.
Can someone please suggest some really good external sd card encryption apps that will also read the card on my windows machine?
lastly what can be done if i want internal encryption on a rooted device?
THANKS

I cant recommend anything but im replying with a warning. Encrypting an sd card will eat up the already short life span of it. Many cards start having corrupt files after a year of constant backing and moving of files. Be careful. It could cost you everything on there. Just trying to look out for your stuff.

thanks, but my phone was stolen a month ago with a 256 sd card full of everything and i do not want to have a repeat so id like to secure the sd card somehow, at least with a password? or any other way to prevent others accessing my data if phone is lost or stolen?

I would just encrypt it, then make backups via USB cable to your pc. If lost or corrupted you have your data but they don't.

Hmm not sure, I haven't used any myself but maybe someone else can suggest one. The USB cable should work in the interim though, to copy files from encrypted sd (while in phone) to pc without having to decrypt the sd card first. I know it's not a solution, but it could be a workaround for now.

Android has SD Card Encryption built into it. It should be under your security settings

Yes but OP wants something that also works in Windows. The built-in Android encryption feature requires full decryption of the sd card before it can be used in another device (unless using USB to connect the phone with the encrypted card to pc).

Stable Cross-platform Encryption is rare. I mean you could probably find an app for both windows and android, but due to the very very low demand for it, I dont see it being that efficient.
