I don't think that you can. Downloads is 'protected' location these days too.
If you're using something like Syncthing, you can't connect a Syncthing folder to it.
Such asinine planning. Literally regressed after being able to change it for decades in any device that offered expanded storage.
I guess maybe I could format an sd as internal use, since it just mounts it seamlessly as part of internal storage. Sucks to have to do that though.
Edit: hey I find the downvotes weird. I mean… ok they’re meaningless but what do people have a problem with? The truth? Expandable storage allowing you to set the download and camera and documents all to the larger storage so you don’t fill up your limited internal storage - we could do that with freakin pocket pc 2000.
I guess today they’ll do anything they can to coerce people to buy larger internal capacity so they decided to roll back the clock on some tech concepts that have been better for decades already. Okay that is the cynic in me talking but really, can anyone offer a better explanation?
Tell me about it. I have a mobile 'downloads' and a mobile 'Yorkdownloads' being my desktop downloads folder synced with Syncthing but I have to move the files between the two folders repeatedly! FML.
