Guest ripdroid Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Hi! Looking to get an 8-inch tablet. My primary usage would be to download movies on the go and move them to the SD card. I realise with KitKat, Google have restricted write access to SD cards (each app can only write to their own folder). Some manufacturers get around this by providing their own file managers that have system-level permissions to write to external storage. Just wondering if the Hudl 2 comes with it's own file manager app to move files from internal storage to the SD card? I don't need to move apps, just individual files. I'd rather not try to root it! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ripdroid Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Can anyone with a HUDL 2 check if it comes with it's own file manager app?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DaveGriff Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Just use this file manager from Google Play; I use it on the Note 3 and Huddle 2 and it works perfectly - well not so perfectly on the Note 3 now since my last update blocked SD access to ALL apps, but works ok with the Huddl ('till the next update, should have root access by then though).

Guest w1thy Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 I've just looked on my Hudl 2 (not rooted) and found i'm using the same file explorer (by 'Cheetah Mobile') as DaveGriff. It suits my tastes, having no problems moving any files to other folders whether on the Hudl 2 or the mounted Micro SD card. It's very straight-forward to create new folders with custom names, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pgaunt Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Yes, I find the same thing with File Explorer. I can move and copy files to and from the SD card without any issues so far. I can also create folders. I'd assumed it was something weird I'd done with my card (can't think what) which allowed me to do it. The one thing I don't seem able to do is delete folders on the SD card and don't know why that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest w1thy Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 File Explorer . . . one thing I don't seem able to do is delete folders on the SD card and don't know why that is. I suspect it's either a bug or specific limitation within 'File Explorer'. I tried briefly and gave up, tried to do the same using 'ES File Explorer' and deleted the test folder with no problem. My principle reason to opting for 'File Explorer' originally was the differences in 'permissions' required, i.e. 'File Explorer' very few permissions required, whereas 'ES File Explorer' demands many I consider to be invidiously pervasive without good reasons.

Guest state-it Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 FX File Explorer is my 'go to' file management system on all my devices. With their 'KitKat Fix' enabled I've no problem moving files around. I just think theirs is the best interface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
