On my Galaxy Tab 8 8.0 I  am trying to move my own recorded sound which is tored in my internal tablet storage to notification sounds so I can use this for my emails. I have done this easily on my Halaxy A15 phone as the was a little + sign which I used to add it but this is not on my tablet sounds!

I was told to do this - but it does not work.

1.   Long press on the file stoed on my tablets internal files and then it shows options like move,copy,etc.

2. I pressed both move and copy which were the same and copied. Then I went to my settings - sounds-notifications and there was nowhere to paste it and no + as I said. Am I missing something as I am very elderly but it worked on my phone. Someone also said to go into my Outlook app - tap notifications which are on and there is somewhere there to add sounds, but the isn't

Thanks everyone

- Hard press on the audio file you want to move
- Tap "internal storage"
- Select "notifications" from the list
- Select "move here"

Try copying the recording into My Files โ†’ Internal storage โ†’ Notifications. If that folder doesn't exist, create it first.

Then go to Settings โ†’ Sounds and vibration โ†’ Notification sound. The recording should appear in the list. You don't paste the file inside Settingsโ€”the Notifications folder is what makes Android recognize it as a notification sound.
