Although it is getting lost in high-end phones, the microSD slot is a very common feature in Samsung's lower-mid-range Galaxy. This feature allows you to use an external memory to store the heaviest files, see -for example- the photos and videos that are immortalized through the mobile camera. But, for greater comfort, it is recommended that the Camera application itself stores these files directly on the external card. To make this procedure available to any user, this time we are going to explain how to save photos to the microSD card in a Samsung Galaxy.
First, before starting this procedure, it is recommended that we check in which folder the photographs that we have taken with the camera of our Galaxy have been stored so far. To do this, we enter the “ My Files ” application (we can find it on the screen where all our applications appear, although in some cases it may be hidden in the “Utilities” folder) and then click on the " All files " option. Then, click on the option " sdcard0 " and enter the " DCIM " folder; if we find our photographs here, it means that the images have been being stored in the internal memory.
To move the photos from the camera to the microSD card in a Samsung Galaxy, we simply select all the images that we want to export, click on the icon of the three parallel lines that appears in the upper right part of the screen to select the option " Move ", we return to the main screen of the" My Files "application to, this time, click on the" extSdCard " option, choose a folder and, to finish, click on the" Move here " option.
And now, let's know how to make the photos from the camera of a Samsung Galaxy are stored by default in the external memory:
- We enter the Camera application (
- Then, with the mobile in a horizontal position, click on the gear icon (
) that we should see in the lower left part of the screen.
- Next, among all the options that will be shown to us in a floating window, we should see one with the name " Storage ". If our photographs were stored up to now in the internal memory of the mobile, the option that will be selected is " Telephone "; But, to make the photos and videos are saved in the external memory, the option that we have to select is "Memory card".
