Ok...I migrated from the Samsung S5 to the Moto X4 Android One variant and am trying to get the external SD card to work like it did before. Previously, I was able to run multiple apps from the SD card and take pics which used the external SD card as the storage location.

Now on the Moto (running Oreo), that just isn't an option. None of the apps that are running allow me the move to the SD card via application manager (such as electro droid) and for the life of me, I can't find any settings in the camera app (Moto Camera 2) for anything including storage location. I can access the SD card fine via several file managers. Am I missing something?

I don't think you can put apps on the card, but you can set the camera to store pics and videos there. Swipe in from the left side of the viewfinder screen to bring out the settings menu. I don't know why they hid it like that.

Thank you, thank you! Just to recap so that the web crawlers can find this: To access Moto Camera 2 settings, swipe from left to right when in the app.
