Revision history [back]

A lot of threads have been posted about the SDcard so far, each with more specific issues. I feel that the problem should be named in a more general manner, namely that core GUI apps just don't take notice of its presence and hence don't make any use of it (I can't find it now but someone claimed that the OS in fact doesn't have write access! - please verify/disprove if you can). There are numerous workarounds for using the sdcard in the system, but basically not user-faced (remember that command line requires dev mode and is not intended for end users) or only through third-party apps, sometimes not available in the store. This question is for gathering votes to make sdcard access a properly integrated functionality of the software stack provided by Jolla.

Some apps that need to be able to see the sdcard, be able to browse through its file system and write to it:

• first and foremost, the Camera! (see also this thread)
• Media (see also this thread and this one)
• file manager (see also this thread about mount point)
• e-mail (for attachments)
• documents
• people (for importing contacts)
• browser
• basically any app that needs to choose from stored files or write their output to a location chosen by the user, which should be in all the cases where it makes sense.

Please ADD INFORMATION to the appropriate section of this question if you see Jolla core apps that have this feature, or if you know a different Jolla app that lacks this capability. Do not post workarounds/command line solutions, as there are plenty of these in other threads regarding the sdcard.
