You can use a program called "Android commander" It can push and pull files form your root directory, so be careful with what you do.
As far as i know, twrp gives you the option of mounting seperate partitions. Don't know about cwm. So if you don't wanna download another program, you can do that. And ofcourse there's always 'adb push'.
Cwm too gives you the option to mount internal/external storage. You have to go in 'mount and storage' then select the last option (I don't remember how it's called) and then you select to mount internal storage and you plug your USB cable.

I have some large files on my internal SD card (mainly app back ups)
How would I be able to transfer/move that file (it's a zip) from my internal to my external ?
USB mass storage ? I tried this and nothing showed up on my computer.
What do I mount / unmount etc
Er are you serious? have you tried moving it with "my files".. hold on the item till a menu pops up.. guess not.

Your external sd are mounted in the internal...
So it should be /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD
So just check in folder _ExternalSD on your sdcard

on the phone this is corect
but if i connect to pc , then i turn on usb storage @ phone
first the phone says " sd card safe to remove"
then notting happens , I turn on usb storage again and then I see only the internal @ the phone , tryed many thing , always I only see the internal , because the phone always seems to safly remote the sdcard first ....
puth the wired thing is wen i conect the phone on pc I can see two cardreaders
first one , the internal memory of the phone
second most be the sd card , but because the phone "safe remove" it first , I cant access it ....
really wierd
I have the same issue here, davjan.
I hope LG will fix this in a next firmware update.
(that they'll find a way to treat both SD-cards in the same manner).
It is the normal behavior to safely unmount the external SD. It does that to provide the computer with 2 different mass storage devices.
Do you happen to have a linux computer nearby?
You could view in dmesg how the SDcards are viewed.
Anyone found a solution to this problem? Why some people are able to see both cards and some others not?

I have the same problem as well. When I turn on the USB storage the pc is "seeing" only the internal sd card. The pc (under my computer) shows 2 different hard drives. When I turn on the USB storage only one of them "turns on" with 5.5GB. There is a file within the internal sd card called External sd card but not sure if this is the "way" to add stuff into the external sd card... anyone?
sd card
you must format sd card in your phone before use. settings-->sd card-->format external sd card. Its solved my problem too.

hi, i have a samsung captivate running android 2.1, i finally managed to root it with a update package, though, this phone is old, and does not clockwork mod (free version) in the market . therefore, im trying to sideload the free version of clockwork mod with android sideload wonder machine ( AT&T blocked installation of unknown services on this device) , though whenever i mount my external SD my computer wont recognize it( nothing pops up and i cant find the SD card on the computer). any advice/ tips? im using the orginal cable, installed driver many times and restarted many times thanks!
Guys! please help!
I highly recommend you update to at least stock Gingerbread; that way you will be able to sideload apps without any hassle, plus you'll be up to date in general. When you activate USB mass storage from the device, you don't need to mount the external sd separately. They should appear on your computer as 2 removable drives, or sometimes Samsung likes to hide the external sd in a folder called "external-sd" that shows up on your internal.
agree, re recommendation to go GB or at least froyo. is the external_sd folder visible in the phone and does it see the real card?
even when my phone was new, running froyo stock unrooted, and I had never put an external sd in the device, the folder existed, but it was only a placeholder for mounting an sd card.
you can check settings, sd storage, to see if the phone mounted the external sd properly.

It depends from app to app. some app are coded that way that they cannot be moved from phone to usb like banking app and few other apps. some games are automatically downloaded to your usb memory and some apps can be moved as well.
please specify which app you are not able to move and i'll check that.
did you find any solution? because I am unable to move too. the button says move to usb storage. but usb storage is not there.

Sorry sorry it says move to sd card. But there's no sd card inserted. There should be a dedicated button to move to the 16 gb storage.
The 16gb in built storage is referred to as sd card.

That's the problem. I cannot use this option. It says unable to move app. Not enough storage space.

So are you saying when first installing the app it's saying no storage space or when you're transferring it to sd card there's not enough space? Two different things.

when I want to transfer the app then it says no space. I have 8 gb free in storage and around 1 gb internal memory free
What rom are you on? If on jb, try transferring the app to sd using application manager, see if that works. If it still complains it's because you have residual odex files left over from previous uninstall or other expired data files and there are threads on how to remove them.

I have stock jb rom 4.1.2
I am trying using application manager, the app2sd also diverts to the default app manager.
In the application manager, what's the status of the move to sd card button? Is it greyed out or click able? If is greyed out, you will need to use root and TB to move then to sd card.

it's clickable, I can click it but it gives error
I am having the same problem.
I did a fresh factory reset (STOCK JB 4.1.2) and format USB Storage because my Note was becoming unreasonably slow. Needless to say, it's lightning fast now, but as I begin installing apps and internal memory starts decreasing, I want to move apps to the internal SD card (USB Storage) which currently has 11gb free. When trying to move I get "Unable to move app. Not enough storage space". How is this possible?
I do NOT want to use an external SD Card, as the phone starts getting slow whenever anything is downloading to it. Even when updating apps it starts getting stupidly slow to do ANYTHING! Rooting is also NOT an option.
I'm incluing some images to give a better perspective.
Just downloaded and installed the latest ROM for the HTC Vivid (http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=2343586) which claims to have working camera and internal/external SD storage but I cannot get access to either one. I have formatted my SD card to FAT32 like the FAQ suggests and have swapped out to another SD card - still nothing.
Is there something I'm missing??
ICS labels storage as 'SD card' and 'ext_SD' and in jellybean labels them as sdcard0 and sdcard1.. Try using a file explorer to see if you can access it this way.

I've tried using ASTRO File Manager and I don't get an option to select either internal or external from the menu.
In Dropbox, I get "SD card problem. Your device has no SD card, or you have your phone connected to your computer, so Dropbox won't work properly." even though I don't have it plugged in.
Trying to open a multimedia message sent via SMS will result in "No storage. No external storage available."
Something's up....
Are you on the latest version? I know on the 6.30 build storage did work when I was on it.. Something may been screwed up in the latest build, I would post in the ROM section and see if any one there has the same issue

Try changing the mass storage option to MTP in Settings->Storage->(press menu key)USB Connection Type->MTP
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34949219&postcount=2
When I did this I was able to connect my phone to my computer via the USB cable on the 6/29 build and could see directories, but not individual files. However I copied the 7/2 build to the appropriate directory and found it fine on the phone.

I'm using 4.2.2 Unofficial Dirty Unicorn, mass storage option only mounts internal sd on my pc,
thanks for the info to set mass storage option to MTP, it temporarily fix the problem.
Has anyone been able to get to external storage via USB Mass Storage? I can see external on Windows via MTP, but only internal on UMS. When on the stock ROM I would use my phone as music storage for my vehicles.My vehicles can access UMS not MTP for music.
