This works pretty well for my Galaxy S3. I thought I wasn't going to be able to use the 64Gb MicroSD I bought just for this phone. I was able to bind the CoPilot sdcard data directory to my extSdCard. Upon launching CoPilot, it didn't ask me to download the maps again.

Thank you so much OP for this great tool!

Anybody knows how to bind a directory name with space? Bind seems to fail all the time when the directory name has space.

The only suggestion I can offer is this:

When doing Linux-y things on the command line you have to escape spaces, ie.:
mv filename\ with\ spaces filename_without_spaces

Perhaps editing the string that the file explorer returns and manually adding the \ before any spaces would work. Also it may take a double set to work, that it's \\ It's not too much trouble to try both ways.

Thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately both methods single backslash and double backslash did not work.

Am I doing it wrong? I have a Galaxy S3. I'm trying to bind:
S: /mnt/extSdCard/NaviOne
T: /sdcard/NaviOne

The disk icon has a green boarder and I see theres a replica of the NaviOne folder in the extSdCard and the file size is 3.2gb same as the sdcard one. However, why does the /sdcard still have the NaviOne folder? isn't it suppose to only act as a link or something? I tried setting the Alternate dbase mgmt on. But all I have is 2 identical folders of 3.2gb.

I thought this app was suppose to allow me to like force move app from internal sdcard to extsdcard?

If the binding is enabled it will show a green icon lit up.

When it's enabled the files will still show up under /sdcard but its an illusion tricking your phone) When the binding is not enabled the same files will no longer show up /sdcard. Just an empty folder.

Hello,
I used this cool App and I copied successfull over to my microSD the Android folder. But now I notice, that there are all Apps in, so I'd like to make it back! But how? How can I copy it back and how can I delete the entry in this app?

Thank you very much and sorry for my bad English!

You would need to stop the bind. I believe just clicking the green disc icon will do that. Once you do that you will see an empty folder in the original folder location. Delete that. Then move the new folder to the original folder location.

Thumbs up Initial Entry Saving

Great tool that's very easy to use! Before this, I was making my own script files with the mount -o bind command and then using SManager to run them at boot time. This utility makes everything so much quicker and easier. Thank you!!!

The only small bug I found was on initial use. DirectoryBind wouldn't save my entries. I would reboot, get back into DirectoryBind, and there would be a blank screen with no entries. I found however if I selected the option to back up the database and then restore the database, then all entries showed up from that point forward.

Thanks again for a great utility!!
