As an Android phone user, SD cards are no substitute for a reasonable amount of flash storage. There are a limited number of things you can move to SD and a limited number of applications which support storing their generated content there. My 128 GB SD card has only about 19 GB of data on it (mostly Spotify), but my 32 GB of onboard flash storage is routinely at capacity. I'll never lean on SD so much again, and just spring for more onboard storage...

I had an Amazon Fire 7" tablet that I used for comics and occasional TV shows on airplanes, and I routinely would ask the question of various Android fan in real life, on Reddit, and on this forum, I'd ask one simple question: How do I get my Downloads folder to map to my SD card? When I download something, I don't want to have to manually move it to the SD card, I want it to download directly to the SD card.

The answer, after 2 years of asking, is always "there's gotta be a way" followed by "but I'm not sure how". 4GB of onboard storage fills up quick, which is why I bought a 32GB SD card. But stopping every other download to manually move files over is just a poor user experience. It's what I expect from 2005, not from 2017.

I gave it away and bought a tablet with enough storage built in. My advice? Don't get suckered into the "but it has an SD card slot" nonsense. SD cards suck. Moving files around sucks. It should have storage built in.

You can definitely set some apps to download directly to the SD card, for example Flud, the torrent client.

Enable adoptable storage, and Android will treat the SD card as an extension of the onboard memory. You just won't be able to take out the SD card and read it on other devices without formatting it.

But we're talking here in the context of an iPod Touch.

Moving all your audio onto a SD card is exactly what a SD card is perfect for.

Newer android versions can treat both internal and SD card as one extended volume.
