To copy your photos and videos to the SD card on your OPPO A9 2020 (running ColorOS), you can use the built-in File Manager app. [1]

Method 1: Using the Built-In File Manager

  1. Open the File Manager app on your OPPO home screen. [2]
  2. Tap on Phone Storage (Internal Storage). [3, 4]
  3. Locate and tap the DCIM folder. (This is where your camera media lives). [1, 2, 5, 6]
  4. Tap the Camera folder. [1, 5]
  5. Long-press on a photo or video to select it. To select everything, tap Select All (or the multi-select icon) usually located at the top right. [2, 6, 7]
  6. Tap Copy at the bottom of the screen. (Note: Selecting "Move" will delete the originals from your phone storage, while "Copy" keeps duplicates in both places). [8, 9, 10]
  7. Tap the back arrow to return to the main File Manager page, then tap SD Card. [8, 9]
  8. Navigate to the folder where you want to store them, or tap the + icon to create a new folder (e.g., "My Photos"). [8, 10]
  9. Tap Paste (or Copy Here) at the bottom of the screen to complete the transfer. [9, 10]

Method 2: Change Default Camera Storage to SD Card

To save space automatically going forward, you can set your camera to save all future photos and videos directly to the SD card. [11, 12]
  1. Open the default Camera app.
  2. Tap the Settings gear icon (usually in the top or bottom corner depending on your software version).
  3. Scroll down and find the toggle for Save to SD Card Preferred and switch it ON. [11]
Are you trying to free up internal storage space, or just creating a secure backup? If you run into any "write protection" errors or cannot see the SD card option, let me know so we can troubleshoot it!
