Android sd card as Internal storage
I have a samsung galaxy note 3 32GB Internal 64GB sd card
I format the sd card for portable storage and all is ok I see my 32GB internal and the 64GB sd.
If I format the sd card to merge with the inetrnal storage it shows:
Total space available; 90GB
Internal 32 GB (It should say 90GB right)
sd card shows 64GB but unavailable for file manager (which is ok)
I connect my android to the PC and it shows only internal (which is ok) but it only shows 32 GB of space.
My idea was that if formatted as internal the available sorage would show up as 90GB, so from my PC I cant really know what the actual available space is.
Am I doing somethong wrong? Or that is the way sd card as internal space works? Is there a workaround?

When your device is connected to the computer swipe down from the top of the screen and chose "USB connected" and then chose Connect USB Storage. You should see all your storage devices in windows.

I know I do it, and the phone appears as storage but not wiht 90GB only 32GB the question is if formatted as internal storage how can I see the full 90GB in my windows not only 32GB
Do you have the "Media device (MTP)" option when you swipe down and chose "USB connected"?

Yes... I can see the files but it only reports 32GB

Just what I thought. Best thing get a Note 8 with 128GB internal storage. Doesn't come cheap though

True. But we have to live with it if we do not have the budget.
I am using Sony Xperia Z2 with only 16GB internal storage. I do not use SD card as internal storage as:- (1) Sony does not support it; (2) I have data loss when my SD card became read only for my old Lenovo Android phone after I have formatted SD card as internal storage.

Storage
Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
