I just saved the files from my flip phone to a micro sd card, and put that micro sd card in my android tablet. I went to the file manager, but I didn’t see anything for mounting the sd device, or that it was accessible. where should I look to access files from sd cards?

using Android lollipop

I don't think there is a standard location for the sd card directory but look for a folder called external_sd. It will depend on your tablet model. Perversely, it will not be your /sdcard directory, this folder is your embedded storage.

  • I just installed VLC media player, and the directory navigator in that, allowed me to quickly find, the file I was looking for. But Im totally interested in learning what standard way there is to locate, and navigate around files.

The SD card should mount automatically when installed. To check, go to your settings-> storage and see if there is an SD card listed at the bottom.

Using a file manager, the external storage card is normally accessed through: root -> mnt -> extSdCard
