The picture you sent is kind of odd… maybe your SD card has nothing on it. But, I have use of the SD card in the same way you seem to. It is kind of large, non-interactive storage bin except for some very basic media applications. Like my phone (a 1tb SD card) which uses android 11, the SD card slot needs to do more.
It needs to be able to be accessible actively and passively by any app to which you give permission. THIS IS PARTICULARLY TRUE WITH YOUR NEW TABLET! This tablet is a miracle… literally one of the best devices I’ve seen in over a decade. iOS is useless and android tablets (even those that do not block the use of the SD card!), are clunky and awkward… I bought and gave away 2 Samsung tablets over the past 6 months. I was just going to get a Kindle and be happy to read something!
The Lume Pad2 caught me off guard, in a good way. I can actually do intense legal stuff when necessary on this. Therefore, I will get it to work the way I, and GitHub and XD developers, think it can! It is worth the investment of time!

can reformat the SD card but there are no choices presented as to HOW or in WHAT SYSTEM the card will be reformatted.
When formatting a MicroSD card internally in the Settings app using a fully updated Lume Pad 2, it formats the card as ExFAT, which is the file format we recommend.
Again, this is a part of stock Android. We have done absolutely nothing to this part of the AndroidOS, it’s exactly how it comes from Google.
EBRJR57:
find a way to make it work with the SD card like every other Android device ever created.
It has worked with a MicroSD card since launch day. Myself and most of our users use an internal MicroSD card with their Lume Pad 2’s and have zero issues with it.
Here is a picture of the MicroSD card working without issue in my Lume Pad 2:t

I don’t mean to be abrupt. But, in my profession, when a question is methodically not addressed despite every Socratic to elicit an answer, there is often a reason.
I have answered the same question multiple times in different ways. If you do not choose to accept it, it’s entirely on you at this point.
MicroSD cards are fully supported, as they are in all other Android devices, as we use the version of Android 12 made by Google with very little modification. We use MicroSD cards without issue. They work with all files, but they do not work for running apps.
“Merging” or “adopting” or “fusing” the MicroSD card to make it look like the device’s internal storage is not supported as that’s not a basic feature of Android, it is a custom feature that was built custom by a variety of other manufacturers and developers. We will also not be spending any time building this feature. You can try whatever you’d like to bring this feature to the device yourself if you’d like.
