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?
