Accessing files on an SD card

← Android
Important Note: If your device is KitKat, please check out this article on why Xodo can not support write access to SD card documents: Files opened from external SD card are read-only.

If you are suddenly having trouble accessing documents to your SD card, please check to see if your SD card is corrupted.

1. Tap the SD Card tab.



2. Tap the Add button.



3. If you want to access the entire SD card, tap SELECT "SD-CARD-NAME" at the bottom.



If you only want to access a specific folder or set of folders, navigate to that folder or set of folders, then tap SELECT "NAME-OF-FOLDER(S)" at the bottom.



4. Once you've accessed the SD card, you can manage files and folders on the SD card like you can on the other file browsing tabs.
