This wikiHow teaches Samsung Galaxy device owners how to move photos to an SD card. Even though Samsung Galaxy phones are armed with large internal storage space, having the option to use an external SD card is still a useful option. With this card, you can easily transfer files from one device to another so you never lose your favorite photos.
Step
Step 1. Load the SD card into the phone
Samsung Galaxy phones have the SD card slot in different sections, depending on the version or model of the device. Some have slots behind the back cover of the device, while others are at the top of the device.
Step 2. Open the My Files app
This application is installed by default on all Smasung Galaxy devices. The icon has a yellow background and has an image of a folder. You can find it in your device's app drawer.
Step 3. Select the Images category
When you open the My Files app, you will see a segment titled “ Categories ” at the top of the page. The first content in this category is labeled “ Images ” with a green photo icon.
Step 4. Select the images folder
Now you can see a list of all the folders containing images on the device. Select and touch the folder containing the photos you want to move.
Step 5. Touch and hold the photo long enough
Select the photo you want to move and hold it with your finger until the phone vibrates. The photo is already selected when a yellow tick is displayed on the left side of the image.
Step 6. Touch the other photos you want to move
Once you enter selection mode, you can tap on other photos that need to be moved. Again, you can ensure that the photos are selected when a yellow tick is displayed on the photo.
Step 7. Touch the three vertical dots icon
It's in the upper-right corner of the screen.
Step 8. Touch Move
A pop-up menu will be displayed and the option “ Move ” will load as the top menu option.
Step 9. Select SD card
You will see a list of locations where the photos are moved. Touch SD card ” which is just below the option “ Internal storage ”.
This option may be labeled “ Memory card ”, depending on the type of SD card or device model used.
Step 10. Select a folder
You need to select the folder to which the photos are moved. Go through the list of existing folders and subfolders until you find a suitable directory.
Alternatively, you can create a new folder for the selected photos. At the top of the folder list, you will see the option “ Create folder " next to the icon " +" green color. Touch the option, provide a name for the folder, and click “ Create ”.
Step 11. Touch Done
Once in the folder where you want to move the photos, touch “ Done ” in the upper right corner of the screen. The photos will now be stored on the SD card, and not on the phone's internal storage space.
