i have a 4kMax firestick. When i "move" the app from Xplore from Apps to Internal Shared Storage Downloader it creates an apk file. I install it. However, it opens but remains an apk file and it remains also on the left screen under Apps on the Internal Storage. I also do not get the disk symbol in Manage Installed Applications that the app was moved. What am i doing wrong? Also - the downloader is in Shared Internal Storage. Why we i not be putting the App in the external storage usb under a New File? Would appreciate help.

Best Firestick videos. You’re the best Tanya ❤

[@LeonBlue]

Hey Tanya, I first of all want to say thank you for your fantastic work. Your videos are very straight forward and easy to understand. Apologies for this long message but I want to explain as much as possible the assistance I need. I feel like a proper idiot asking this, so embarrassing but I’m struggling with E-xplore. If possible I'd be so grateful for your help because I've watched other people's videos, but you are seriously the best of the best! Your explanation and guidance are like no other out there. I have a 3rd Gen fire-stick and I bought all the tools needed to make sure I could have multiple ports for USBs and multi-HDMI switchess a 255gb flash drive which I followed your instructions because it initially wouldn’t let me convert to FAT32. I was able to fix that with your help and I now have my set up just like the one in your video which I loved!! "insane setup for firestick" that enables you to plug the UGREEN adapter through Ethernet. It also allowed me to insert my small 256GB flash drive and I have a Bluetooth keyboard on the way so I felt really good about the setup. I am now however confused to bits using e-xplore. I’m unable to see my external storage anywhere on the app e-xplore, but I have moved some apps following your instructions and been able to verify they are on the external storage (I think) because when I checked my apps, I could see the little USB thing next to the ones I chose to move. Some apps though take up to 5 minutes to load, while other close down. I remember when you said that certain apps work better on internal storage so I'm working on that but on your videos, it looks so easy, even though I’m transferring to what I think is my 256Gb storage, I’m finding that e-xplore app randomly closes or disconnects. I've literally spent 4 or 5 hours going over each of your videos but I thought I'd reach out to the legend yourself because my external storage device which is a SanDisk doesn't appear on either the right or left side of e-xplore. The page just looks like a duplicate of sorts and I haven't got a clue what to do with the centre console. One final thing is I keep getting told I can't install apps when moving them because of "not enough space" I need to make my external storage as a default but I can deal with that when it comes to it. I'm assuming you live in the UK which is so much easier but I know you have hundreds of thousands of subscribers so I know you may never see this but I love your work! I rely on your experience and your knowledge blows my mind 🙂. Apologies again for the long message. Best wishes from Newcastle UK 🇬🇧

[@FireTVSticks]

Hi. To answer why you cannot see your external store in X-pore, this video will help: CAN'T SEE FIRESTICK USB STORAGE | FIRESTICK STORAGE HELP - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYGXf2qmotmZrrM. As you have partitioned your storage to additional system storage, any apps you install will install the external USB as a default, unless the permissions are denied within the app you are installing - as set by the app developers. Hope this helps!

[@LennonAugusto]

the app installed in usb drive run good? or they are slow performance?

[@FireTVSticks]

What storage you use is down to you, but there are few things you need to consider when choosing your USB storage. I personally use and recommend the SanDisk 32GB Flash Drive Amazon US - amzn.to/3aYwuGe Amazon UK - amzn.to/3vQy05t As Fire TV devices are formatted to FAT32, the maximum size of USB storage that you can use is 2TB, however, Amazon officially recommends using USB drives that are 128GB or smaller. Amazon also recommends that high speed USB 3.0 drives are used, even though Fire TV Devices have a 2.0 USB port because USB 3.0 drives tend to have faster read/write speeds and will perform better, even when connected to USB 2.0 ports. You also need to be aware that with this process, your Fire TV device is likely to run slower when launching apps and moving around the menus as files on your USB storage cannot be read as fast as they can be read directly on the internal device storage. I hope this helps. Thank you for watching 😊👍❤️

[@FireTVSticks]

Unfortunately, this does appear to be an issue. As far as I am aware there are only 2 choices: 1) Uninstall the app and then re-install the updated app from my Filelinked (or other source). 2) Move the app to your internal storage, update the app and move it back to the external storage.

I have a few questions I'm hoping you'll help me with.... 1. Can you tell me how to move apps "as a whole package & keep the settings & passwords?" 2. This is a 2 part question. A. I've been looking for a Usb for my Firestick 4k & not sure what the best one to get is (64gb,128 or higher? I have no idea how much space apps take up). B. I seen in one of your other videos something about when using an "otg cable" with a Usb, it needs to be "FAT32" (If I understood that correctly) how do I format it when I get one? 3. My Daughter has Comcast at her home & she had me download the "Xfinity Stream" app on my tablet to be able to "watch away from home" her home. (before I ever got my firestick 4k). And, now I'd really love to watch it on my TV (bigger screen). I found a few old KZbin videos for the xfinity stream app & talking about also downloading a toggle (they're a year old) that said to download the "Downloader" & type in a web address, but the address doesn't do anything. I then found an xfinity stream app, but it's not the same thing. (it's not actual streaming!") I am hoping you can help me, I am trying to watch the "lifetime movie Channel" through streaming which my daughter has & given me permission to use. & You seem so smart at everything about the Firestick 4k! Thank you very much! And, God bless you 🙏🙌😇💖

I need to know if there is a way I can save my movie files from Tivimate and store them on my firestick without it using the firestick memory so I run out of internal space. If I format the usb to be used as external storage, I assume I will see it on xplorer and I can add my movies to that drive. Will I still be able to use the apps in the firestick?

Once you have allocated the USB drive as additional system storage, all apps will install to the external storage as a default - IF the developer of the app has specified this in the app code. To move apps to internal: Uninstall the app from your external storage. Power down your Firestick. Remove the external storage. Turn your Firestick back on WITHOUT the external storage.

[@FireTVSticks]

Depending on how you add your storage will affect how you can see your storage in X-plore. If you use ADB to partition your storage as PRIVATE, you are no longer able to view the contents. It is inaccessible by any file explorer application. You will need to use the df -h command to see your storage space. Here is a video showing you how - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHqZeJ1mr9yXh9k If you use ADB to partition your storage as MIXED, you will ONLY be able to see the partition of your storage that is not allocated to system storage by using X-plore.

However I was able to install it from another source. The X-Plore file manager also was installed on the external flash drive and it won't run from that location. I had to move it to internal storage for it to work using the built-in move function in devices (most apps can't be moved this way which is why I was looking for a video to do this). Finally, when trying to move an app to external storage, the instructions to click the center remote button just launches the app, it doesn't open a menu to allow the app to be moved. So I'll have to find another way to move the apps as this doesn't work with a 2021 Toshiba Smart TV.

The instructions in the video are to PRESS AND HOLD the centre remote button. If you click, it will launch the app. Thank you for watching 😊👍❤️

Hi Tanya I tried to move the apps but they were getting installed in internal storage again and again. And i could not see any usb sign in near their icons. Please help.

[@FireTVSticks]

As mentioned at the start of this video in the disclaimer at 0:16, "you will need to have additional storage already attached to your Firestick and you must already have allocated that storage as additional system storage." "If you have not done that already, in the link above me now and in the description down below, you can find a link to my tutorial that breaks this process down step-by-step into manageable sections." Did you follow the other video to allocate your storage to additional system storage? Thank you for watching 😊👍❤️

Your video is very concise and makes moving apps to usb drives simple, but once you take it off the firestick is there a way to start an app from your usb drive? Thanks so much for your wonderful videos!!!

[@FireTVSticks]

Yes, you can run any app from your external storage that you have installed there. Thank you for watching 😊👍❤️

Do you know how to do this on Nvidia Shield? I don't want to move them off my 500G internal Shield, but create a copy on a memory stick. Basic streaming apps only to use as a device to do new sticks.....

[@FireTVSticks]

I do not know how to do this on an Nvidia Shield sorry but there should be options within the settings to move apps to external storage. It should be easier. Thank you for watching 😊👍❤️

Will it she how much is on your external when I move them it has the usb on the right but the gig is the same 64.5 out of 65

[@FireTVSticks]

Apps take up a minimal amount of space depending on the size of the app of course but most or only a few MB and will installing apps will take time to fill your external storage to a point where you see space decreasing. App data and cache are still located on internal and that must also be taken into consideration. Thank you for watching 😊👍❤️

[@musiquero8288]

Hi Tanya, if this method doesn't transfer app settings, it's the same as uninstalling them normally, and installing them again on the flash drive with Downloader, normally too... I don't find this method very useful because it doesn't copy saved data as well in the app. But thanks anyway for your work.

[@FireTVSticks]

Sure thing! You can find a detailed guide on transferring apps while preserving their data on my website at firetvsticks.com/add-more-storage-to-firestick-fire-os-6/. I hope this information proves helpful to you!

[@KC-wz4po]

Tanya, great info. Is there a way to use Xplore to move apps from the external usb back to the original internal storage? As u mentioned, some apps work better on the internal storage but what is the procedure to do that? Thanks.

[@FireTVSticks]

If you have Fire OS 7, you should see an option within Manage Applications to move the app to internal storage. If you have Fire OS 6, you will need to uninstall the app, remove your USB storage then install the app again. With the external storage removed, the app will install to internal. Then re-attach your external storage.

Hi Tanya please can you do a video on how to be able to move apps properly to a usb flash drive from a 4K Max firestick and then use the usb drive on a different firestick a us the apps directly off the firestick please can you help me

[@FireTVSticks]

Sorry, this is not possible. Once a USB storage drive has been formatted to additional internal (or system) storage, it will only work with that Firestick.
