The only advantage of having it as internal storage, from my knowledge is that you can install and run apps on the card. I don't understand why Android developers can't combine best of two options in one?
thank you for pointing out an important reason to go with phone memory use over interchangeable. use. that was very good information. it's probably the best comment I've ever seen
how do you revert the changes? i accidently turned my sd card into internal storage. i did not intend that to happen, now the internal storage and sd card seem to be merge and i cant find a way to format or separate it? this is such a STUPID FEATURE! please help!

@@tls_134 Depends on what kind of data and what you want to do with this card. If "basic data" is used for Android system or the Apps, it has to be internal storage. If it's not, or you want to read it on other devices it should not be internal, IMO.

@@Black_bull0604 buddy today i have done it on my own. I just took out all the data from sd card in usb, formatted the sd card took it out and then put it back. And transfer the data back but dont forget to select portable storage for sd card and u r done! 👍
I find the best way! Just borrow another phone, do the exact thing and do the portable format after the format.. get your SD card and put it on your phone and everything now is good.
Does it effects the system speed like does it boost the phone speed or lessened? Cuz it always depends on how fast of a reader your sd card is compare to the actual system storage that can read faster than the sd card. Will that make some inBallance within the system or just neutral?
It will not boost the speed, so depends mostly on how fast your SD card is, however having a almost full storage makes it slow is it might feel like a boost, but the slowest cards will make it slow
If you make it portable storage does it strip all the files from your phone. Let's say you lose the card or it gets corrupted, will all my stuff still be on my device if I remove the card? Thanks
I wish the video was going to explain that more in deep, but no, just basic information (by talking about "if you want to remove it you can't"). I think that the only main CONs destroy all the numerous advantages by using the memory as internal storage; basically if the SD memory fails (die or get corrupted) you cannot recovery anything from that, like if you are using the memory as an external storage. The advantage are insane, like you can have a phone with 144GB of storage instead of 16GB (by using a 128GB microSD card) so you can install any app on the SD card (and not just the few app compatible with "move on external storage") with no limits, like if your phone came with all that storage by factory, BUT, as said, if that memory fail you basically lose everything due the fact that the memory became compatible only with that phone (I think it get encripted) so no recovery via PC. This disadvantage is big enough to nullify the advantages.
Maybe a solution to all of you who want to reformat your sd card to portable again: 1: pull out your sd card 2: do a factory reset 3:reinstall 4: insert your card and you can format it again

There is nothing you can do that card is forever integrated into your phone that you format it to internal not even computer or any other devices because the card is encrypted only for you the one and only formated it, you can use it except your phone that formated it as a internal storage for me just buy a new sdcard so you can format it to external.
Questions, I formatted my CARD as Internal but didn't finished. Now I can't detect my Card on phone. What can I do to format it as portable storage? I tried on PC but nothing happen
Like many here, I am confused why the phone/tablet will use only the sd card when it is internal storage. I have a tablet with 128GB internal and I put in a 512GB. When you format it as internal storage my availabe storage then goes from 100GB free internally and 500GB free on SD card to only 500GB internal storage throwing away 100GB of free space storage.
Brother plz reply me 🙏😰 If I accept 1st method, then my phone memory must have space? Example , my phone memory is 64 GB which is almost full! Then how can I solve the problem? 🙏🙏🙏😢🙏🙏🙏 Brother 🙏🙏🙏
I'm using my SD Card for transferring photos/files but if I insert it to the other phone it will says format SD Card and I don't want to delete all my files.
Thank u very much I needed tht explaination you explained there way I wanted to Cause I was a bit confused when I inserted my SD card n when I click extra it tells me tht it might have problem n I didn't know wats a portable storage
I don't have an sd card in my old samsung Tab 4. When I go to camera settings there is no storage option that says sd card. It has 7.1. 1 update. If I put an sd card in , will I then get the sd card option for storage? Also when I go to my files that is where I find storage internal and sd card. I don't get that option in settings. Maybe 7.1.1 is not updated enough to operate like in this video. What do you think?
So use the sd as portable and set the settings of camera to save videos to sd card so that your videos will be saved to sd card and even if you remove it all data will be there and doesn't effect the functions of phone
Bought an sd card more than a year ago. Just installed it. Formatted it as 'portable storage'. Took a minute for it to be formatted. Phone saide it was ready to use. Tapped on it and phone said the card was corrupted... Repeated the formatting process a few times with the same result. Wth ?
Was it perhaps a very cheap card from wish.com or so? There are a lot of fake cards too, works fine in another device? Otherwise it probably is a bad card
Can u remove the sd card after formatting as internal storage? Can u replace the internal storage sd with a new one so u can have an Internal storage sd card a portable one,?
If you didn't use it yet and saved any files too lt you can remove it after making sure no data is on it, then one can wipe it from a pc or something and do this again
I cleared it on a pc and formatted it, inserted it again and got the option, just make sure you didn't save anything important on there before you do it :)
