Hello - I have a question that perhaps the community knows the answer to.
I am in the process of setting up my new Note 20 Ultra 5G w/ Android 11, which is definitely a fantastic upgrade from my Note 5 (yes - 5!) which has been my capable companion for 6-7 years.
My work requires me to do a lot of research, and I need to capture articles/web pages/etc. For example I will find a relevant newspaper article online while browsing using the Samsung Internet app. I capture the article by clicking on the "more options" icon at the bottom-right of the Samsung Internet window, then clicking "Print/PDF", then selecting the destination folder.
On my Note5 I could only store the PDF files on the internal memory (there was no SD-Card). But these files are typically large, and I capture many of them during a work day - so the memory filled up fast - I ran out of Internal memory frequently. I intentionally purchased the Note 20 Ultra because it has an SD-Card slot and my expectation was that I could choose to save (Print/PDF) my research to the SD-Card. But there appears to be no option for selecting between Internal memory and the SD-Card.
I chatted with Samsung Support, and the kind person told me "Oh it's no problem - you just move the file manually to the SD-Card after you have saved it to internal memory". It may appear to be "no problem", but we're talking about potentially 25-40 files per day, each of which are stored in a folder based on subject matter. At least to me, the inefficiency and wasting of time is mind boggling.
Does any one know of a way to display the option of storing to either the Internal memory or the SD-Card, when using Samsung Internet and the Print/PDF function?
Not sure if there's a direct way to save downloaded files to the external sd card, but you can make a new folder on the external sd card for your work related documents.
All of your downloads will appear initially on the internal storage
"/storage/emulated/0/Download"
You can navigate to the above folder & Select the files you want to move to the new folder you created on the external sd card & move them in bulk.
I know that it's not exactly what you're looking for, but it's what comes to mind at the moment.
I usually use Root Explorer Pro as my file explorer, but there's others that are quite good, Solid Explorer & Mixplorer are two others that I have, but I've been using Root Explorer the longest.
Hi, Please check if the following steps works and get back to us with the results.
Open the Internet app. Tap the menu icon. There are three lines in the bottom right of the screen. You may have to drag the screen up to see the menu option. Tap Settings. Tap Sites and downloads. Tap Save downloaded files to. Tap SD card.
