Hello. can anyone tell we where the downloaded resources are stored on a Android device and can they be moved to a installed SD card? If everything is downloaded and stored on the internal storage of the deivice, memory will soon become an issue. Thank you!

Android devices have a folder called "Files" where all downloaded files arrive when first downloaded. From that folder the files can be imported into e-Sword for Android using the programs input feature.

Hey Higgsy, on this issue:

 

Android devices have a folder called "Files" where all downloaded files arrive when first downloaded.

We have a, "Houston, we have a problem" kind of scenario with regard to what you said. See Video below:

 

 

So, maybe what you said about that folder name, is that it may have to be created, and that you forgot to mention that fact. I'm trying to let you off the hook.

 

For best viewing, either the "Watch on YouTube" button.

 

Blessings,

No my Android tablet and my android phone both have the folder label files

OK, so what is the brand/make of your phone?
 
With regard to the resources that are downloaded using the e-Sword built-in downloader, these files cannot be seen in the file manager. And if this part of the question can be answered as to where they are located, that would be fantastic.

My phone is an Android Tracfone and my tablet is a Kindle Fire 8 

The kindle has a folder among the app icons labeled "Files" one tap and I have access to any files I download such as e-Sword modules from here on Bible Support

I know the files download from within e-Sword for Android can be seen or accessed but as I said above third party modules and files land in the tablet's "Files" folder.

Ah, so... then it would appear that the "Files" folder in your devices are brand related, and not necessarily universally created by all brands. And from my perspective, it appears that this folder is not  just exclusive just to e-Sword 3rd party resource files, but is perhaps more general to any files one may download.

Yes it is a general download folder where any downloaded files land with the e-sword modules from here on bible support once the module is in the files folder all I need to do is run the import feature in e-Sword for Android

Cool, then that would be like (as you may have seem in my video) what folder is called "Download" folder on my device. And so, whatever the folder is called, is peculiar to the maker/brand of the device(s).

 

Thanks for your input, Higgsy. Much appreciated. And that "Houston, we have a problem" is well and truly cleared up.

 

Blessings,
