When you take a picture or record a video on your Samsung Galaxy S8 or Note8, it has to be saved somewhere. You can choose to save items to the internal memory of the phone or the SD card by using a setting within the Camera app.
- Open the “Camera” app.
- Select the settings gear icon located at the upper-right corner of the screen.
- Scroll down and tap “Storage location“.
- Select “Device storage” or “SD card” as desired.

From the above comments, and my own experience, it doesn’t work on the Note 8, or other Samsung phones
Najam Ahmed says
The problem seems to be across most Samsung products. I have a S8 and Tab E 9.6. On both, when I set the camera to record directly on SD card it results in an error “Recording failed”. If I take pictures, it also ends in error ” Could not save on SD card, switching to device memory”

No it didn’t help. As I said and also one other person on here. The SD card was already installed and set to SD for storage. on the settings. There seems to be a problem in this area with Samsung phones.

How do I upload already taken photos to your sd card?
Miguel Rosas says
I have SD card installed and camera storage set to SD card. But it still doesn’t store my pics there. I have all the latest updates on my Samsung Note 8
Mitch Bartlett says
Do you have an SD card installed?
Cassidy says
In my setting, it doesn’t list location as an option, what do I do?
