Transfer files micro SD card

By | October 8, 2015

micro-sd-cardAs we know, internal memory of Android smartphone is limited (from several GB to dozens of GB). Therefore, in order to save more contents such as pictures, videos, and programs, a lot of users are planning to add a micro SD card for their smartphone so as to extend storage memory. Well, how can these people transfer all files from their current micro SD card into the new card?

 

 

Ways to Move Data from One Micro SD Card to Another

 

After googling on the website, users may find 2 ways available:
1. Copy and paste files directly.
2. Copy current micro SD card of Android to the new SD card.

 

Well then, which way should we choose? Actually, all depends on the total size of the saved contents. If there are less than 10GB contents to move, the first solution is suggested. After all, Windows is capable of doing this, and no third party program is needed. Just connect both SD cards to computer, then copy files on the current SD card, and next paste copied files to the new SD card.

 

Tip: if you can only connect one SD card one time, you may need to transfer files to computer at first, and then copy files from computer to another SD card.

 

However, if there are lots of files to transfer, you’d better copy the current micro SD card to the new card, because this will save you much more time. To do SD card clone, users need the help of drive clone freeware, and MiniTool Drive Copy may give you great help.
