If you have recently purchased a new microSD card, you may want to move some images and photos from your Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 to your new microSD card. The process of moving files is generally relatively straightforward, however sometimes updates or other functions may interfere with your ability to move files. To work around this it is always recommended that you download and install ES file Explorer. This is a superior application to anything else on the market in terms of identifying and moving files. It does not require you to root or unlock your device, and it can easily be uninstalled once you have finished using it. Please read on and learn how you can move your photos and images from your Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 to your microSD card. 

Note that if you are instead trying to move files from your microSD card to your system memory on your Galaxy Tab S2, then please view [[Move_Images_from_SD_Card_to_Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_S2|the tutorial we have created for that purpose]].[[Image:Move Images from Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 to SD Card_30975.jpg]]

#Tap one time on 'Camera'. After we have tapped on 'Camera', we will be shown the image in our 'Camera' folder. Note that because we tapped on the system memory icon, we are in the system memory.
