How can I transfer the data stored on the memory card to the new S24 considering that there is no memory card slot on the S24? Does Smart Switch include this possibility?Thanks

    @@LuckyTechLife I am in process of upgrading from VISIBLE's 4G LTE legacy network (Party Pay) to their new (basic 5G Nationwide) plan. I've just received new 'Samsung Galaxy A14 5G' phone PLUS a new SIM card (upgrading from a 'Moto G7 Power'). In my case, I think I have to insert the new SIM into the new phone so that VISIBLE will 'activate' it and allow the new Samsung to recognize the new network, yes? So, inserting the old SIM into my new phone (as you suggested to some others) would NOT work in my situation, correct? Also, if I try your '3rd method' via the USB ... doesn't it need a particular format to function (and WHAT is it?)? I have no computer to do this currently! Are either of my phones able to do the formatting automatically, or do I have to hunt someone down to borrow a computer (and, if so, is any Windows computer capable?)? I would probably would need a 256 GB USB drive (and adapter). If i bought at a local 'Best Buy,' do you think they would be able to format it properly while I was there?? Lastly, I am in same situation as a girl that asked you about how to transfer OLD SD card data (and files/formatting?) to a NEW SD card on the new phone (I still need to purchase). My problem ... 1.) I have no computer 2.) I have almost a 100 GB of data on my current SD card, but only 64 GB of internal memory storage on the new Samsung ... so even if I new how to stick all that 100 GB of SD data into a single folder, it would be too large to 'park' (unpack) onto the new phone by inserting original SD, unpack to Internal of new phone and then Insert the new 256 GB SD card, so that I could 'unpack' onto it? Seems like their should be an easier way to do this stuff ... or at least A way! 3.) Is there some way to put the original SD card's 100 GB of info into TWO separate folders (so each one would FIT on the new phones Internal storage temporarily ... and then repeat the process with the SD card swaps? 4.) Can you tell me how to properly split the data up on my original SD card? I use a file manager app called "File Manager +" on my old phone. 5.) And, if I want any chance of my old folders to be retained (I have many, many folders!), do I need to download this App from the Google Play Store onto my NEW phone FIRST? In other words, will this allow my 'folder hierarchy' (with all files, as they are currently on my phone) to be RETAINED?? I don't just want a 'loose dump of data' going to the new SD card without all the work of the Folders I made to contain it all originally. It would be an untenable amount of work, otherwise! Like Humpty Dumpty, yes? TIA for any help you can give me!
