Hi @Alex250359, welcome to our community!

You can transfer all the photos that you have on the internal storage to an SD card if you go to, Settings > Storage/Storage & memory > Transfer data to SD card, select the data you want to transfer > tap on Transfer.

If you want the photos that you take with the camera to be stored on your SD card directly, open up the Camera application > tap the cogwheel > More > Data storage > SD Card.

I hope that helps! Slightly_smiling_Face

Hi Jonas thanks for your help. As I do this there is nothing to choose from. All the boxes are empty.. While I internal memory is almost full. Screenshot_20190527-130154.png

An App can help you to do that.

Hi again @Alex250359!

What is taking up space on your internal storage? According the screenshot, all photos, videos or music is already on the SD card or saved in the cloud.

Certain applications can be moved to an SD card, but you will have to go through the apps one by one in Settings > Apps > name of the app > Storage. Here there will be a button called "Change" if the app can be transferred to an SD card or not > tap it and choose "SD card", the application will now be moved the SD card.

If you are using podcast/music applications and have downloaded episodes/offline playlists, you can take a look in the settings for the app and see if this can be transferred the SD card.

Let me know if that helps! Slightly_smiling_Face

Hi Jonas 

Your advise did help me out. Thank you. 

However at the moment when I would like to transfer to the sd card, this is stopped halfway. 

What to do?

Kind regards

Hi again @Alex250359!

How much space is there on the SD card and how much data are you moving? Just so the SD card isn't full when reaching the half way point of the transfer.

What kind of data are you moving to the SD card, is it photos, music or videos?

Thank you!
