sd card - How should I refer to "external storage" in the UI on Android? -


apparently external storage on android (referred environment.getexternalstoragedirectory) doesn't have sd card. in fact, doesn't have external!

how can refer storage in ui? example, if not accessible, want surface error user. if "external storage" or "sd card", may confuse users of devices. there way appropriately identify it?

a @ docs environment.getexternalstoragedirectory():

note: don't confused word "external" here. directory can better thought media/shared storage. filesystem can hold relatively large amount of data , shared across applications (does not enforce permissions). traditionally sd card, may implemented built-in storage in device distinct protected internal storage , can mounted filesystem on computer.

sounds shared storage term.
