If you’re like most people, you probably have at least one Amazon Fire tablet in your home. And if you’re an Amazon Prime member, you may have more. If not, there’s no reason to keep your tablets in their original storage slots - they can easily be moved to a SD card for easy access and storage. To move an Amazon Fire tablet to a SD card, follow these steps:

  1. Choose the device you want to move the tablet to. This will be the device that has the removable storage slot - typically on the front or back of the device.
  2. Copy all of the files and folders on your device to the SD card. Make sure that all of your devices are backed up before doing this so you don’t lose anything important!
  3. Format the SD card if it doesn’t already exist in your computer or mobile device. This will make it ready for use as a storage location for your Amazon Fire tablets!

First, pop open the SD card slot on the side of the tablet and slide in the microSD card. You’ll see a notification about “Unsupported Storage” or “Storage Device.” Tap it.

The next screen asks “How will you use this SD card?” To move apps to the SD card, we’ll need to select “Use as Internal Storage.

Next, a pop-up will inform you that the SD card will be formatted for internal use and all existing content will be erased. To use the microSD card in another device later on, it will need to be reformatted. Tap “Format Storage Device” to continue.

After the formatting process is complete, tap “Move Content.”

Tap “Done” when the process is complete.

You don’t have to manually move apps to the SD card. The Fire Tablet will automatically install apps to the SD card if more storage space is needed. You can see which apps are on the SD card by going to Settings > Storage > Storage Device and selecting “Apps.”

If you’d like to move an app off the SD card, you can select the app from the “Apps Storage” screen shown above, tap “Change,” and select “Internal Storage.”

Now when you go to the “Storage” settings, you’ll see those apps can be moved back to the SD card.
