I'm on Android 7.1.1. I can't transfer data to my microSD, allegedly because of a lack of space which it has plenty of, actually (it used to be brimful, though).

  • android does not allow moving apps to portable storage, therefore you get error message "not enough storage" while trying. reformat your MicroSD Card as internal adoptable-storage first – alecxs Jan 02 '22 at 21:21
  • @alecxs But I successfully did it before – Sergey Zolotarev Jan 03 '22 at 04:27
  • what you did before was moving apps to /sdcard (which is your internal emulated storage EXTERNAL_STORAGE) but it is full now. adopt MicroSD Card first so that /sdcard points to */mnt/expand/** instead, then try again – alecxs Jan 03 '22 at 08:29
  • @alecxs what do you mean by "adopt MicroSD Card"? – Sergey Zolotarev Jan 04 '22 at 21:45

    Might also help to mention the device model, in case if the manufacturer disables the adoptable storage. – Andrew T. Jan 05 '22 at 15:49
  • @alecxs could you write an answer with the instructions? I have hard time following you (I read the page you suggested) – Sergey Zolotarev Jan 05 '22 at 17:05
  • only if you prefer to format from command line, enable usb-debugging in hidden developer options and download platform-tools. connect phone, install android_winusb.inf and in cmd.exe type 'adb.exe devices' then confirm connection on screen (you are now ready for adb shell commands) https://jimcofer.com/2016/03/10/marshmallow-lg-and-adoptable-storage – alecxs Jan 05 '22 at 17:50
