== Using the external SD card as internal storage == | == Using the external SD card as internal storage == | ||
Since Android | Since Android {{Android|6.0}} it's possible to use an external SD card in two different modes, either in a ''portable mode'' (which was the only mode before) or in the ''adoptable storage'' mode. | ||
In the '''portable mode''', the SD card will be mounted at it's own mount point under /storage/ using an ID of the SD card, e.g. /storage/CE5C-0252/. With that, the user can save and read data from the external storage, apps, on the other hand, will normally use the internal storage to save data and can not read from the external sd card, except when the user explicitly allows access to it. This mode can be compared to the use of external storage devices at computers, where the media is also recognized as it's own drive. | In the '''portable mode''', the SD card will be mounted at it's own mount point under /storage/ using an ID of the SD card, e.g. /storage/CE5C-0252/.
