[Q] permanently download from card reader to gallery

I can't seem to figure out how to permantly download pictures from memory cards to the gallery on my tab. They show up as long as card reader is plugged in but disappear when removed. Using the Samsung USB adapter with Sony 17 in 1 card reader.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Tried searching but my keyboard disappears when I click on search box......?
I'm not sure what you're asking. It makes sense to me that once you unplug the card reader that none of pictures on the card reader would be viewable.
If you want those photos in your gallery after you remove the SD card then copy them to the Tab's internal memory from the SD card.
Thats what im trying to do... Transfer files to tabs internal memory.

Use a file explorer app like EZ File Explorer, ASTRO File Manager or Root Explorer. In your /sdcard/ folder copy the images from a folder named usbStorage to your Pictures or any other folder in /sdcard/.
Ok thnx... Will try tonite

[Q] transfer files from android phone ext sd to tab?

Have pics on my rooted atrix's external sd card. Astro bluetooth nor bluetooth file trans app show the sd card even when browsing from the phone. Is there a "right" way to do this? Some way to make the sd discoverable as a drive?
I know I could move to internal storage on phone then using astro btooth upload to tab or use tab to find the file. But the folder is too big to put on the phones internal. And of course there's dropbox but isn't there an easy direct way to browse the phones ext sd from my tab?
If the answer involes vpn, kies or adhoc could u plz explain.
Thanks all!
you can download root explorer or another file browser that has access to all of your folders. Of course you need to root your tablet before.
And that has bluetooth file transfer? I have rooted the tab.

[Q] transferring Apps to the SD

i have a question, when you transfer an app to the sd via the manage application settings. where do the files go i cant find it anywhere? its not on the sd card i cant find it on the sd portion of the nand.
if you dont find the answer try using a combo of drop box and es file explorer (both found on market). That's what I use to transfer any app or file form device to card

You have to allow the file manager to go up to the main directory (you usually can do this in the settings of the file explorer).
The path for the SD-Card is
/mnt/ext_card
while the internal storage is
/mnt/sdcard

What file manager are you using? Maybe you should go level up and /mnt/sd-ext instead of /mnt/sdcard ? /mnt/sdcard is internal storage and /mnt/sd-ext is your micro-sd

Send file from SD card via bluetooth?

Hi Guys,
Im trying to send an apk file from the SD card in my mi pad 4 to my phone. The built in file explorer has no option to do it so i installed ES file explorer, this too also has no option to send via bluetooth from the SD card. It has the option from internal storage but not from the SD card. Is this the same for you guys? Is there a fix for it?
Thanks
Same problem here :/ I try both Mi and ES explorer Thought from WPS office app i think i manage to do it (the tablet isn't mine so i cannot recheck it). Photo sharing from gsllery works fine
