    I recently got an android media box but the internal storage isn't a large as I thought.
    I'm running out of storage space & I've been looking at options for an app to write directly to an external sd card.
    I've tried some apps like link2sd,but they state my device cannot move apps & data to external storage.

    So basically I'm wondering is there any other method to force an app to store it's data on an sd card. Thanks.

    As far as I am aware, and I'm not 100% certain, this comes down to the way the application was written. If the developer hasn't specified external storage, it won't be used. I don't think there is a way around this, but I could be wrong.
