Samsung Galaxy S9: How To Move Pictures Folder To SD card

The Galaxy S9 supports Micro SD card technology that provides a plethora of advantages design to make life easier. If you realize that your storage space is being taken up by the images, it can help to move the pictures folder to an SD card on your Samsung S9.

Besides, when you capture a picture with your Galaxy S9, it has to be saved. You can choose to store the items to the SD card or the internal phone memory. The device is smart enough that it will only ask you to do so the first time when you launch the Camera app, but if you miss this step, you can still adjust the setting. You can save pictures in SD card in Galaxy S9 using the guide below but before we introduce you to the main options let’s consider the following factors:

The burst shots are always saved on the device even when you select the SD as the primary storage option for the Camera since the SD speed capacity is not fast enough to store the burst shots.
You will be able to save files on the external card following this new setting, but the action won’t automatically move your old content to the new card, so you have to do that manually.
You can move the images currently on your Galaxy S9 to the SD card in a couple of different ways, and the storage adjustment path can quickly be done anytime later.
