Link2SD is a robust Android app manager that lets you move apps and data to the SD card, manage storage, and purge bloatware from a single interface. With 10,000,000+ total and 1.2K downloads in the last 30 days, it remains a widely used TOOLS app, though it is not ranked in any top lists.

Pros & Cons

  • Comprehensive SD-card linking and data management
  • Batch operations and automation for frequent tasks
  • Force move and App2SD integration for non-supported apps
  • Uninstall/bloatware removal and system app management
  • Does not emphasize memory cleaning or media management features that some competitors advertise; focus is on app/data storage and management rather than broad device cleanup.

How it works:
Linking apps
Link2SD uses a secondary partition on your SD card and uses it as another segment of internal storage.
Link2SD moves apk, dalvik-cache (.dex), lib and internal data files into this partition, which the OS mounts on boot, and creates a symbolic link in the original location.
This retains the file structure that the system expects but with the bulk of the data moved to the SD card.

Linking obb and external data folders of apps and games
On devices that have emulated SD card, obb and external data folders are located in the internal storage, not in the external (real) SD card.
Link2SD moves these folders to the 1st or the 2nd partition of your external SD card (depending on your selection) and with the bind option of the mount command remounts the file hierarchy at external SD card while it is still available at the original location.

What you need:
Linking apps
- root permission
- second partition on SD card

You should have two partitions on your SD card and both should be primary.

You need to use a non-FAT file system (ext2, ext3, ext4 or f2fs) on your 2nd partition in order to link app's private data files. Because the FAT file system (FAT16, FAT32 or exFAT) does not support UNIX file ownership or permissions and will cause a security breakdown of app's private files.
Link2SD does not create the second partition, you need to create it yourself.

Linking obb and external data folders of apps and games
- root permission

Second partition on SD card is optional, folders can be moved to the 1st or 2nd second partition of the SD card.

Link2SD also provides native App2SD feature of Android OS. It can move any user apps to SD card (force move), with batch moving capability.

Link2SD is a free (ad supported) app, you can upgrade to Link2SD Plus to remove ads and get additional features.

Well I don't use this app much nowadays, it was great on my older phone with 8gb (Redmi Note) storage. Wish there's an update for new android version.

★☆☆☆☆ NatalieJune · Mar 29, 2024
Doesn't work anymore now your phone has to be rooted. That's what I used to be able to get around
★☆☆☆☆ Gamers Tech330 · Jan 27, 2023
I had root and enough storage but it still showing not enough storage when I move application to system
★☆☆☆☆ nageshwar rao adhikarala · Sep 7, 2023
Doing nothing but FOR operational command asking same question how many times you give command. Why play store keeping such time-wasting application to cheat public.
★☆☆☆☆ Moriah Elyce · Aug 29, 2022
If I could give this app a zero-star rating and still write a review I would. This app is trash completely rubbish. I wanted to merge my internal and external storage I have a 64gb sd card and my phone has merely 16gb but I can't because the app doesn't work it simply takes you to the settings like if I had the settings I would have just done that and not downloaded it. What a waste of time!!!!.
