[Q] How can I make Dropspace backup my MicroSD card instead of just internal memory?

I would like to use Dropspace to back up my phone, but it looks like it can only see the internal storage (/SDCARD) not my add on 32GB card (/SDCARD2). Does anyone know how to make Dropspace default to /SDCARD2, or ideally both?
dropbox reads it as sdcard\ext_sd
Thank you!

You can go to Settings - Storage - App storage location settings and set everything to download to the Storage Card. That will establish the /sdcard/ext_sd/ to be the default for many apps who access this information dynamically.

Set sd card as default storage

Looking to have card set as default for photos, downloaded items.
How do I do this?
depends on your make/model, but on a samsung GS2 I go into settings>storage>menu>storage configuration, un-tick internal storage
As Samsung has changed the way the SD card is mounted by the phone, I don't think that is possible (to confirm).
A solution could be to create a symbolic link between the internal storage and the SD card via a Terminal, even if I don't know if it'll work.

For internet, open browser, Settings, Avanced, Default storage - memory card.

What is ExSd?

I notice that anything I download goes to that folder. What is that? Is that on the sd card or internal memory?

You said ExSD. ExtSD is the external memory card; you can change your download location for the stock browser in settings, and the camera app will automatically detect a memory card and ask you.

[Q] SD Card

Hello. I've been having a problem with my SGS2 i777. (СM 10.1 NIGHTLY 2013/02/07)
My phone mount external SD Card (32gb), but does not use a memory card. I can't unmount SD Card, because unmount button is not active (See screenshot), and I can't move programs to the SD Card using the app2sd. (Sorry for my english, I have a basic level.)
Please help.
You might try formatting the SD card in your PC. I had a similar problem back when I first rooted my phone and that worked for me.

Internal SD Card or External? If external, yes.

You are having problem with external, right? Yea, external. Can you mount it afterward?

Yes, I can mount.
Then you should be able to use it properly with move to SD option in the Applications Setting. If that is what you are trying to do.

I'm trying move apps to SD, but it doesn't work. Memory is not simply used. On the memory card created in the folder LOST.DIR.
But my internal SD Card filled, if I move app to SD.

Are you trying to use that Apps2SD? I don't recommend it. Just go to Setting >> Applications and move the apps from there.

Internal SD card Memory already full. When I install the application, says there is not enough memory.

So if I move, it will be filled again. Not music, pictures, videos, etc., fill applications. Again there will be the problem.
