However, it doesn't keep anything separate, your SD card files are all mixed in with your usual Android files. This is somewhat convoluted, but it does work.Īs you can tell at this point, you were able to look at whatever was on your SD card when you went to "My Files" on your Android. Turn off your phone, and press together Volume Up + Home + Power button. Now you know what's specifically in your SD card. Here takes Samsung SD card as example: 1. But, at the top left, it should say, SD card > Road Music You haven't added any music yet, so your file should be empty. The File you created through your laptop, "Road Music" should be there. This is what I am using to store music files downloaded from Youtube for when I'm on the road.Īt this point, you have used your laptop to create a new file on your Android. Create a new folder called, "Road Music" or anything else. This is your your SD card on your Android. You should see a lot of options, go to "This PC".įor me, my Android shows up as "Galaxy Tab A (2016)". It is recommended to restart your phone or tablet immediately after formatting the SD card as internal phone storage press and hold the power button, then. You have to go to the Start Menu and then click on the 3 horizontal lines in the upper left corner. In this menu you can now see the 'Format' option. Scroll down a bit to 'memory' and tap the menu item. It will link up, and then files on your Android will appear as if they are on your laptop. Now open from the start screen of the Samsung Galaxy S7 the menu and then the Settings.


Step one: Plug your Android into your laptop.
