    I got my DTEK60 yesterday, and am struggling with setting up a 64GB SD card (Samsung) to work with the device. I have installed Microsoft exFAT driver, but was only able to set the card up as 'external strorage' (exFAT format), as DTEK wouldn't format it as 'internal'. But even though two file managers (including a reputable Solid Explorer) can 'see' the SD card, neither seems to be able to write files to it :-(

    I checked app permissions for both file manager apps, and they have permission to 'storage' (I think it's general kind of permission, i.e. not internal/SD card specific).

    Appreciate some pointers to a solution here.

    I have already installed Microsoft exFAT driver from Play Store -- should have mentioned that in my original post, sorry.
