How to Automatically Move Photos and Files to the SD Card (Auto Move)
On this page (3)
Auto Move in APPtoSD PRO moves files from your phone to the SD card for you, on a schedule. You set a rule once and your internal storage stays free without you having to remember it.
Use a ready-made rule
- Open APPtoSD PRO and tap Auto Move.
- Turn on one of the ready-made rules:
- Gallery & Camera → SD card, every night
- Downloads → SD card, every day
- Allow the permissions the app asks for. Each request explains why it is needed.
Create your own rule
- In Auto Move, tap New rule and pick the folder you want to empty.
- Choose the time the rule should run.
- Optional settings:
- Only files older than a number of days – keeps your newest photos on the phone.
- Copy instead of move – keeps the original on the phone.
- Include sub-folders.
- Save the rule.
Good to know: Android starts a rule around the time you chose, so it can pick a moment that does not cost extra battery. A run may therefore start a little later than the exact minute.
Check what happened
Every run has a result page: how many files were moved, and which ones were skipped and why. See why a file was skipped if some files stayed on the phone.
