Hi,
today I have found that noise records are taking too much space from my phone internal memory.
In the menu "Sleep noise recording" I have changed Storage path from "/storage/emulated/0" to "/storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.urbandroid.sleep". This works fine for new recordings, that are now stored on SD card. Is it safe to move full content of /storage/emulated/0/sleep-data/rec to /storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.urbandroid.sleep/sleep-data/rec , that all history will be kept?
  Thank you

Hello Andres,

although I have to admit I did not test this, in general looking the implementation it should work fine for you to just move the recordings to the new location. Please let me know if this works fine for you. Otherwise there is always an easy fallback to move it back.

Thank you very much.

Best regards,

Hi,
so I did the move. The hardest part was to find a way how to move this files due to limitations of 4.4 Kitkat, but after using My files on Samsung I can report success and it looks everything is working fine.
   Thank you

Hello Milan,

I did not know you have KitKat. Did you manage to do this without rooting. Do My FIles allow to access SD card on Samsung+KitKat? In general unfortunately due to unwise restrictions from the Android team normally you can apps can only access their own private directories.

Thank you very much.

Hi Petr,
Yes, I made it without rooting. And yes, My Files allows access to full content of SD card on Samsung + Kitkat. I have tried first Total Commander and ES File explorer, both failed. My Files was the only found possibility to do it without rooting as it is coming with special rights from Samsung that are not available for other applications. And folder "/storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.urbandroid.sleep" is only one on SD card where your application has rights to write.
