I have a couple of questions about a flash drive

You should be able to set your browser to DLoad to the new card in browser Tools/Options.

There isn't a tools/ options on my tablet that I can see. Where is it?

[patio]

In the browser.

Patio, the Polaroid Tablet runs Android, so there will not be drive letters and most browsers don't allow customization of download locations. (That I can find).

There should be a "File Explorer" App somewhere that you can use to browse the tablet's file system. I'm not an Android expert myself but I believe you will find the sdcard at the very root in an sdcard "folder".

Actually copying files I don't know.  Maybe somebody else can chime in with some Android-specific information. My own android device (Nexus 6) doesn't support an SDCard, or I'd experiment.

This article Might be some help.

Thanx for the clarification BC...i'm out of the loop as far as Android devices and i should have waited or checked for an Android Helper to stroll by.

I downloaded a file explorer app and I think I works but im not sure.

A large number of Android Apps on found on Google Play Store. The quality varies
One of many is called "File Manager". [What a clever name.  ]

File Manager helps you manage all your files efficiently! With an intuitive interface, File Manager allows you to handle any file or folder whether they are stored in your device, microSD card, or cloud storage accounts.
With File Manager you can easily copy, move, rename, delete, find, share, explore, compress, and otherwise organize all of your files on any of your storages.
More storage options, also with Clouds: Supports multiple cloud storage accounts such as Dropbox and Google Drive, all from a single app. Also explore your external storages like microSD cards and USB OTG drives (if supported).
Save disk space by compressing files: Compress files to save space on your storage and extract compressed files in Zip, RAR, Tar, Tar.gz, Tgz, Tar.bz2, and Tbz formats.   ...

You should enter the Play Store with you android and sign in. You have a hard time getting a free App if you do not sign in.

I use one called Total Commander. I have to say that for many people trying to replace a Windows computer with an Android tablet, there may be quite a steep learning curve. But effort is rewarded.

[JackCatalano]

Mine is called ES File Manager. The problem I have is that I don't think I'm saving my files. In other words, instead of my files being saved to the SD card, it's not. It's being saved in the Misc. Part of Internal storage. That stinks because the more stuff I download the more I use up my internal storage.

What I want is to save stuff to the SD Card instead of the Misc.  part of Internal storage. What I'd like to know is how to do that?

Jack: Gotcha.
Does the tablet have File Manager software on it? Some tablets come with a File Manager installed. If not, you may have to download a file manager from the Play store. See if your tablet has it, first. I'm going from memory, here, since my tablet is...umm...temporarily misplaced. 

Bear with me. I am going to go look at some general information on File Manager apps.

Not a bad little overview of some different file manager apps.

i have used ES File Manager in the past, but recently read an article that suggests that ES File Manager is among one of the offender apps that "leaks" or gives away personal information. Because my advice on here tends to be more conservative/careful, I'm going to point you to Total Commander or X-Plore, both of which are free.

(If anyone cares to credibly dispute my statement on ES File Manager, that's fine. I am not going to recommend it until I know otherwise.)

[JackCatalano]

It didn't come with any file  manager app. I had to go to the app store to download it. So, should I drop the ES File Manager and go to something else?

[Aegis]

Jack, I wouldn't worry about it. I did like the ES File Manager when I had it on my other tablet. There are all kinds of good reviews, and I can't seem to find that article which "knocked" ES.

Now, if someone more experienced, on Computer Hope, tells you otherwise, then you might consider changing.

Have you been able to figure out the app?

Total Commander is a great tool...

I liken it to XTRee Gold from back in the day...

Not sure. I downloaded X -Plore. I have to see if it's working.
