    Help SD card works on phone and 1 tablet, not on 2 other tablets???

    (TBH, If we're thinking the card is the problem, I wouldn't really format it; I would just buy a new one. They are cheap enough these days. But I'm not sure if the card is the problem, since at least one device couldn't read my backup to the backup card, either)

    Help SD card works on phone and 1 tablet, not on 2 other tablets???

    It's a sandisk card. I guess I could back it up to Google Drive or something, and format it but that doesn't really answer the question of why it works on 2 devices, and doesn't work on 2 -other- devices Reading other threads here, it sounds like people are not using SD cards very much...
