Today, mobiles with the Google operating system have a number of storage enough to download files without problems. The memories used by manufacturers are now largely based on 32GB, reaching up to 512GB.
Due to this, the use of the micro SD has been in a background, and every time the manufacturers include it less. However, there are still users with mobiles with 8 or 16GB of storage. For all of them this article is going, so that they learn to how to transfer the applications to the SD on Huawei phones and solve storage problems.
MicroSD as default storage card
In a very simple way, we can assign that the default internal memory of our Android mobile is the microSD. On Huawei mobiles, for example, you must go to adjustments and then go to «memory". Once inside memory, a setting appears called «default location ». We press it and we give «micro SD". It should be noted that by default internal storage will appear, but we press microSD. Once we give it, the mobile will restart automatically and, when turning on, we will already have the SD as default storage. After doing this, all the applications will be stored on the microSD.
This trick that we show you makes sense on SD cards with a lot of storage. Cards with 16, 32, or 64GB are more than enough and we can expand our memory capacity considerably. It is enough if we want to have them on this side and store things in the device drive.
If you set it by default, skip those that you think are necessary, especially the applications that can be skipped, the system ones are usually fixed on the internal card, although some allow it to be moved. It is recommended that you put those that take up more memory, such as Facebook, Twitter, Chrome and other apps.
Pass the apps already installed to the microSD
You've probably already set the microSD as the default storage. However, by doing this, we do not make sure that the apps that were already downloaded go to microSD. Well let's get to it. We are going to pass the apps that we already had in the internal storage at microSD.
First of all, we must go to an application that Huawei always includes in its EMUI layer and is "files". Next, we must follow the following steps:
- We access «records" Huawei.
- Click on the directory that says "category", inside here, we press "Applications".
- Within applications, we press «applications» again and select the apps we want to move to SD.
- We leave pressed the apps and click on "move" (which will appear when we leave it pressed).
- Once we have clicked on move, we go back and click on the directory "local".
- Inside the local card appears "micro SD". We press and we give move again.
- The application would already be moved, you can repeat the process to move the applications you want.
Now you will have more storage on your Huawei mobile
Now we know how to transfer our apps to microSD on your Huawei .. Also mention that we can pass folders with photos and other files. With these two singles Tricks, one to default the SD as internal storage and another to pass the apps already installed to the microSD, we make sure that our Huawei mobile always has more storage capacity. In addition, transferring files to the microSD helps us to pass content from one mobile to another.
The day will probably come when microSD disappear from our smartphones. However, that will take time to eradicate and for the moment, we believe that this trick and its simple steps are quite useful for the average Android user who needs to free up some of the main memory from the inserted one.
After this, you will see that much of the previous information has been transferred to the SD card, which will now carry the greatest weight if it has those apps considered to have large storage. What happens is recommended is that you make a copy/dump of the information of what you consider vital to the hard drive of a computer.
Transfer information from the internal to the SD with an app
It is perhaps the comfortable way, being a really interesting solution and without having to know how it works, since it is really simple and intuitive. Files to the SD card, USB is a program that has been designed to carry a file or more in one go, with a transfer that exceeds 40 MB/s and has no limits, since it is free for Android users.
It will barely require installing, it is available in the Play StoreHowever, you can go to the Aurora Store, which also has it among its millions of apps. Another option to download it is to use any download page that stores utilities, among them are APKPure, which has also decided to upload it among all the available ones.
To transfer data from internal storage to the other, you must do the following steps, which are fast:
- Download and install the application on your device, to do this you can use the Play Store from GSpace (link below)
- Once you download and install it, start the same application on your mobile phone
- Click on the main screen, you will see the main storage card, choose the application that you want to transfer to the SD, try to make sure they are not from the system, if it is one of the ones you have installed on your phone, move to the external card and click "Move"
- You will see that all of this will move in real time, which is what you were looking for, in this case the application will not occupy the main one and will occupy the SD, which can reach up to 256 GB in some cases, while in other models the maximum is 1 TB (check this before buying it )
It also works with sending files from the phone to a USB, so if it is connected and the other is plugged into the mobile it will be viable. One of the recommendations is that you can do this to an SD or USB, the transfer will largely depend on the speed of the SD/USB.
Hello, I am trying to move the applications and it does not give me the option, I could only change the default storage option from the internal memory to the sd card, nothing more
