Do I use an SD card with my Motorola XOOM 2 tablet?

The Motorola XOOM 2 allows you to write to the SD card from your PC and using the different steps to transfer files from the Motorola XOOM 2 to the SD Card.  

While a user cannot move apps to the SD card, the device comes equipped with up to 16 GB or 32 GB of on-board memory that provides plenty of storage.  Users can also store and play videos or music from the SD card if the content was copied to the SD card via the forementioned file transfer processes. However, videos or pictures taken from the device itself can only be saved to the internal memory and not to the SD card.

The Motorola XOOM 2 does support microSD cards up to 32 GB, along with the internal storage found on your device.

You can plug in your device via the Micro USB to an external storage device. 

Note: This device will work with drives up to 32 GB, with a Fat 32 format only. It will not work with NTFS formatted hard drives.

It is recommended that you use an SD card reader to transfer files to your card, and then reinsert it back into your device.

Explore and open files

In order to explore or open files on your external SD card or USB Disk, you will need a file manager application. While we do not endorse or guarantee these solutions, or provide support for them, some owners have reported success using a 3rd party Android Application like Astro file manager, ES File Explorer or File Explorer HD.  You can search the Android Market for 3rd party applications that are available that will enable you to view, open and explore files from your device.

Using any of the above suggested application, go to /mnt/sdcard2 to open or view content from your MicroSD card.
