Netflix Will Now Let Android Users Download Content Onto SD Storage (consumerist.com)

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Consumerist: Now that Netflix has finally opened the doors to offline viewing, subscribers have the ability to download content and watch it later. That's all well and good if you've got plenty of space on your device, but not so useful if you don't. Android users will have some breathing room now, however, as Netflix's most recent app update lets users set their download location to either internal storage or an SD card. As The Verge notes, offline content has a time limit, so it's not like you can download all the movies and TV shows your heart desires and leave them there forever. The feature doesn't support any Android devices that have a microSD slot, either.

Re:SD and not micro SD is useless

That is what I thought too, but the summary just plain butchered this line:

And Netflix notes that the feature doesn’t support any and all Android devices with a microSD slot.

However even that was clear as mud due to the horrible choice of grammar.

For clarity, I am currently downloading a video onto my MicroSD card from my Android app. So yes, "SD Card" is generalized to "external storage". I have no idea what the consumerist.com write-up means by "The feature doesn’t support any Android devices that have a microSD slot, either".

(u)SD: yes

After testing on my personnal device :
yes, the Verge is full of shit.

Netflix correctly suggest downloading to my externel exFAT-formatted uSDXC card.
(Which is setup as default under the android system settings).
