I have a s8+ tablet. I store music and videos on the 1 tb micro SD card , however, whenever i add anything to the SDE card it is not seen when installed into the tablet. There is a work around to this but it's really a PITA. if I format the micro SD card then reload all the stuff on it along with whatever new i want to add, then, it is seen when installed into the tablet. I have to do this every time i want to add anything. my question is, is there a way to fix this?
your SD card probably a fake/defective product, i have 7 microSD at home, if there's a sign like yours which mean it's defective of you purchased a really fake product
or to ensure, you can use laptop with card reader slot, if the issue still persist even on laptop, then yes your microSD card is need to be replaced
That sounds like a media indexing glitch, or worse, you might have a fake/counterfeit SD card that corrupts data as soon as it exceeds its real capacity. To fix this, use minitool partition wizard on a PC to test the card's actual health and file system integrity, or try a free app like media rescan to force the tablet to refresh.
It sounds more like an issue with the SD card itself. I suggest inserting the card into a computer first to check for bad sectors or read/write errors. You can use a tool like MiniTool Partition Wizard to run a Surface Test on the SD card. If errors are found, it is best to simply replace the card. If the test passes, then consider whether the issue lies with the formatting method or the tablet's file indexing.
