There is a better way to get an overall view of which apps can and cannot be moved to the SD card. There is also a paid version , but the free version is good enough for this purpose. Next, follow the steps below to the letter, and you should have some extra space on your SD card for apps.
Before partitioning your SD card, be sure to back up all data on your SD card. This partitioning procedure will erase everything on it. Once your data is backed up, leave the SD card in your PC for the partitioning process.
The following screen displays. Select the disk for your SD drive. This is the point at which all the data on the SD card will be erased. The first partition will be used for data. Creating partitions on an SD card so you can install apps to it on an Android device is different from partitioning a drive for a PC. Next, you need to define the type of file system for the data partition. By default, the size of this partition is the available size of the SD card. Click and hold on the yellow border and drag it to the left until you get the approximate size you want for your data.
The remaining space on the SD card is listed as unallocated below the data partition you just created. Now, you need to define the second partition for the apps. Windows can only recognize the first partition on a removable disk. However, since we are not using this SD card on a Windows PC, we can continue to create the second partition. The remaining space on the SD card is automatically used for the second partition.
However, the changes are not final yet. A confirmation dialog box displays making sure you want to apply the changes. Now that you have a properly partitioned SD card, insert it back into your Android device and boot up the device. There is a paid version of the app, but the free version will suffice for this procedure. That should reset the app. Once your device has rebooted, open Link2SD again.
You should not see any dialog box display. Instead, you should see a list of apps and some options on the top of the app screen. If you want to automatically install new apps to the SD card rather than the internal storage, we recommend doing that now. To do this, tap the menu button three vertical dots in the upper-right corner of the screen.
Make sure the first three check boxes are all selected. So, data files for apps installed on the SD card will still be stored on the internal storage. Use the back arrows at the top of each screen in Link2SD to go back to the previous screen. You can also use the back button on your device. Any files you transferred from your PC to the SD card are on that partition. Word is also taking up a total of MB of space on the internal storage. However, we can get beyond that limitation.
It's near the bottom of the Storage menu. Select your SD card. Tap Change storage type. Tap Format as internal. This formats the SD card so that it can be used to store files on your Android device. This will erase all data currently stored on the SD card. Select a storage option and tap Next. Some devices allow you to choose from two storage options: If you want apps to save their data files such as the cache to your SD card in addition to apps, select Use as an internal storage for both apps and data.
If you only want apps to be stored on the card, select Use as internal storage for apps only. The data on the card will be erased and then set up to allow downloads. Method 5. It's in the menu with three dots in the upper-right corner. This opens the Settings menu. The card will now format as internal storage. Once the card is formatted, apps you download from the Play Store will typically save there by default. Some apps are not able to download to an external card.
Method 6. It has an icon that resembles a gear. Tap Set home directory. Tap Done. Downloads will now save to your SD card by default. Wing Hong Chan.

I have fomatted my card but still it is not downloading directly into the SD. Any ideas? Rudy Toth. The reason why you can't download anything from a play store directly into the SD card is because if you get in there, it is very hard to remove it later.
Most likely all apps will only download to your device's HD and not to a SD card. This applies to music files also. MY SD card has been formatted, still cannot download apps from Playstore there. The primary problem is once you download apps into a SD card is that you later can't remove them. It is better for the apps to be placed on your phone's hard drive where it is easier to work with than being on a SD card made for only pictures for extra storage.
This applies to music files too - they should not be on a SD card. Not Helpful 2 Helpful 0. For Android 5. It's time for you to get a big upgrade phone.
