Galaxy S22I got an external SD card adapter for my Galaxy 22 Ultra and I used to have the option (through the camera settings) to change the storage location to my SD card. After a software update there isn't even a "storage location" option in the storage settings anymore. This sucks because I can no longer record large videos. Does anybody know a workaround for this besides just freeing up space on my phones internal storage? I'm not sure if this could be my carrier or the manufacturer that has disabled the option possibly.

Galaxy S22Unfortunately the S22 Ultra does not have a MicroSD card slot for you to use the SD card adapter that you recently purchased, unless you're using a hub? However the only workarounds there are would be to use Cloud storage (5GBs free from Microsoft if you have a Microsoft account and have your S22 Ultra connected to your Microsoft account) and Google drove offers 15GBs of cloud storage for free.
Other than that you're limited to the internal storage your phone has unless you moved those large files to your PC. That's also a solution to free up space.
I hope this helps.

Galaxy S22MicroSD cards are physically much smaller than SD and no adapter could exist even if there were a slot... Not even some cabled monstrosity... even on my Note 20 Ultra, the microSD slot is in the SIM tray and only works while it's all locked in place... unless there have been advances in folding cabling through the 4th dimension I'm unaware of.
"Use the cloud" is a useless solution to this problem, which as the OP said, didn't exist before.
I'd strongly suspect this was an intentional choice when Samsung realized people shooting video from tripods could avoid paying $600 for an extra 384GB of internal storage by plugging in any old USB-C storage device of practically any speed since 4k video from these phones averages around 50Mb/s and I have cards from nearly 20 years ago that can manage that kind of sad speed. State-of-the-art UHS-II SD reads and writes at 2.4Gb/s and isn't the quickest thing that can be plugged into a USB-C port by far.

Galaxy S22One option might be to use OpenCamera for video instead; it's generally better for video anyway since it allows using higher bitrates. I've tried as high as 150Mb/s to rather ancient microsd without issues. I'm not sure if all cameras work for video with the "pro" mode features like they now do in Samsung's app and multiple / external mic support might not be there yet but 150Mb is more suitable for editing than 50 or less.
