K9Mail can not save attachment to SD card after upgrade to Oreo - Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers

Hello,
For e-mail I am using K9Mail. Attachments are saved to a directory on the external SD card. Since the upgrade to Oreo K9Mail no longer seems to have write access. If I check the app permissions, it has read and write permission for the SD card. Why can't K9Mail write to the SD card?
I have another app, Locus Map, that since the upgrade to Oreo says there is a problem opening a database. That database is also on the SD card. Could this be the same problem?
What has changed here between Nougat and Oreo? How can I get back the write access to the SD card?

Downloads not saving to SD card..

everytime i download a file or anything from the web, instead of creating a download folder in the root of the SD card, it created one under the Internal Storage....how can i make the SD card to be my Default storage?
SDcard is internal, SDcard-ext is the external card. Haven't seen anyway to default downloads to the external card.
there has to be a way to make the Micro SD card to be the default for downloads and what not. All my other phones have created subfolders under the MicroSD card.
I do not want to use my internal 8gb to save PDF files when i download them from the internet. I want to use my 32GB MicroSD card like it does on other phones...
This has been a NIGHTMARE. I just realized sdcard is internal and sdcard-ext is my actual SD Card. I just assumed sdcard was my flash memory card as this was the case with my Droid X. I changed ES File to the ext location as my default, and my browser's DL section to the ext location as well as Titanium backup. I can't figure out how to save my E-Mail attachments to the ext directory though and I have to continually move them manually, not to mention every app is using the sdcard directory (internal memory) and thinking it is my actual Micro SDHC card. This is a NIGHTMARE and I have read it is not a Motorola problem as new Samsung and HTC phones have the same problem, it is an Android problem. Why the heck would Google change the naming scheme of the SD Card when it worked fine before? Anyway if ANYONE has any solutions suggestions, I would really appreciate it. Thanks
I totally agree. There had to be a way to make all downloads, etc save to sd c
ard-ext.
It's probably going to take a custom Rom to fix.

Weird SD Card Name on MM(6.0.1)

Hi,
My phone is installed by a pre-rooted MM rom and currently it's working welll without any problem.
But I found out one issue for sd card name.
internal memory name is under 'sdcard'.
sd memory(External) name is under 'storage/9016-4EF8'.
I think some app's data is not moved to sd card(External) due to that sd memory name.
For example, I installed "Day" app and data is saved both 'Internal' and 'Ext' in Link2SD app and App2SD app.
I checked file location for the app using 'Link2SD' but app's file location is still in the Internal.
Internal - Data(Data in Link2Sd) : /data/user/0/com.osmino.day
External - Data on SD Card(Data(Ext.) in Link2Sd) : /data/media/0/Android/data/com.osmino.day (Why internal???)
So I could not move data to Data(Ext.) because it's already recognized Data(Ext.) to extern SD card.
I think External SD Card file location would be like this "/storage/9016-4EF8/data/media/0/Android/data/com.osmino.day".
How can I change sd card and internal name or move to external sd card to move to external SD Card?
Do you have any idea?
Thank you.

There are several paths to the external SD card with MM
/storage/exfat_uuid
is probably the shortest.
Download a copy of root explorer and familiarise yourself with the new MM file structure, it's not complicated, it just has new names from LL.
Using apps to move other apps onto the SD card doesn't sound like a recipe for success.
Let the Sony app manager do it.
thanks for reply.
then how can i move data to real external sd?
my storage is not enough so i need moving.
i think some app try to install data in external sd. I think many apps try to find sdcard named. currently sd card is internal memory. and exact sd card name is storage/9016-4ef8. i think that's why my internal memory is not enough.

Take the SD card out, save the data on it, then format it
When you put it back in your phone and it asks you what to do with the SD card, DO NOT format as internal storage. This feature doesn't really work, or if you do get it to work. then it's really buggy and apps can't use it.
Once you have the SD card working, just use settings/apps/*your app* In the first bar down it will say where the app is stored and if you click on it, it will give you the option to move it.

Apps on SD card - what happens when card is replaced?

I have moved some of my apps to an external SD card. I want to replace my SD card with a larger one, but don't want to break the apps that I've migrated to the SD card. If I copy all of the files from the old SD card to the new one, is there any way that I can retain access to the apps on the SD card without having to re-install them?
The reason I don't want to re-install the apps is that one of them (an e-reader app) has a large number of readable documents. These take a long time to download, and need to be done one at a time. Hence it would literally take hours to restore it.
All apps data should be in the Android folder of the SD card. So, just copy the whole Android folder to the new SD card. But make sure all apps that have been moved to SD card proir are not running while you swap SD cards.
Thanks. My concern is the name assigned to external SD cards seems to be different for each card. For example, my current card is listed as "4575-5888". If I replace it with a different card I assume that name/number will be different for the new card. If the apps installed on the old SD card refer to "4575-5888" then would they be broken when I put the new SD card in, even if I have copied over the /Android folder?
The name of the SD card makes no matter for sdcard1 is always sdcard1 = SD card slot.
