Can one access the SD card directly for pictures, media, etc., or do you have to download it to the tablet first?

You can access music and photos and play them directly from the SD card you do not have to download them or use any third party app on the tablet unlike on the Tablet S (the first tablet).

There are many ways to access the memory external memory card. 1. There is a feature which allows you to transfer data back and forward between the SD and tablet. It has a nice split screen too, kinda like looking at a desktop. 2. There are many 3rd party apps that allow you to check through the SD only.3. Anything on the SD loads directly into pictures, photos, and Sony reader/PDF view. I still have mine.

You need app like Astro File Manager or ES File Explorer (i recommend Astro) and explore the contents of External Card. There is build in application in this tablet that enable you to transfer from internal to SD or vice versa.. That app is for transfer only.

Yep, I store all my music on the SD card and just stream it off from there, so you do not need to download it to the tablet. Just think of it as storage expansion. Sony also just released an update for the tablet allowing for larger capacity SD cards like 64gb+.

No need to download any of your content on the SD card. The tablet automatically recognizes what the content is and puts it where you would want to find it accordingly. Again this tablet really is my fave Android tablet

It looks like only pictures movies and music can be moved to the SD card...will try to investigate further but the phone is fantastic other than the crappy camera but I can live with that

I agree with the other three answers. Use the SD card for viewing or downloading.

this allows you to bypass the funky "Kies" software on a PC. You can copy the files from your PC to a USB stick, then attach it to the tablet and copy them over to a new folder. It helps to have an extra memory card in the tablet.

directly, no. I am assuming you camera uses an sd card and your tablet uses a micro sd card. THEN, you can transfer pics from the sd card to your computer/laptop and then load onto the micro sd card to transfer to the tablet. An easier way is to upload pics to google plus or google drive, then download to the tablet. Hope this helps.

Thank you for responding, Mark! I just downloaded SD Copy, but now I'm not sure what to do with it or how to use it. Any assistance is appreciated!JacquelineJacqueline

Yes, I put movies on a thumb drive and watch from the tablet. I didn't have as much success connecting my portable HDD though. Given the low amount of storage on the tablet, I personally won't actually store video on it.

Wade, have you tried just loading the SD card after you have got video or photos on it to the computer? I do that instead of putting what is on the disc on computer. I get the videos and photos that way. Mine works awesome that way. I hope I explained that right.

No, you can't. This isn't a microsd card, though it probably came up in your search for a microsd card, like it did when I bought it, and then returned it.

I can't spreak from experience as my son hasn't downloaded it. However, if you can dowload it from the Google Play store, like onto an Andriod phone, then you shouldn't have any trouble downloading it. I would recommend getting the micro SD card for additional storage, although we haven't run into issues yet.

Simply go into the menu and look for media settings and switch to SD card instead of internal memory. HTH

put the sd card in your pc, and the pc will direct you on how to load them. If you don't have a port on your pc you can get an adapter that fits in your usb port

I remove the SD memory card and use an inexpensive USB adapter to download the files to my computer.Here's one available from Amazon : eForCity SDHC / SD / MMC Memory Card Reader to USB 2.0 Adapter, Smoke

you have to go to the settings and find your sd card and import it all to the card

Sorry I never put an SD card in mine. Only way I can think of is to take the SD out and put it into an card reader. Or keep looking in the menu.

As long as you bought a micro SD card it goes in the right side of the tablet. There's a little slot and you have to push it in till it clicks.
