Gemini (WiFi Only) - Firmware 2018-05-09.08
I have placed an 16GB uSD card in the internal slot (behind the screen) - this was originally formatted as FAT32 - in the Gemini it can be formatted as two ways
"internal" - card is encrypted, the key is held in the Gemini and card will not work in other devices
"portable" - card is not encrypted and can be removed. i.e. files on it are no secure were someone to open the case the card can be read
I want to use "internal" as I have no need to remove it and will use as extra storage - ideally I need it encrypted as have no idea what will be on it I use this method in both my Samsung J5 phone and a S2 tablet, it works fine.
If I format the card as internal it shows in the storage manager but it's not available to the filesystem - i.e. not showing in either the generic Android file manger or Solid Explorer.
If I format as "portable" within the Gemini it is visible to the the file system but not encrypted . Although writing to the card seem to take a lot longer than I am used to with my Samsung S2
Removing and checking the card on my Lunux laptop with gparted shows it;s just a normal FAT32 card. Putting the card back into the S2 tablet and it works fine so I think the card is OK
Has anyone got a uCF card reliably working as "internal"
Internal Card Format does shows as storage

Same here, SanDisk 8gb card formatted for internal storage is not visible in File Manager.
