I don't mean to be rude but how many posts are you going to ask this in. This is about your 4th post with this question. I have answered as so have other people and you don't even reply back you just re post the same question in a different manner. It cant be done. Period...
 
with the Es file manager... how is that done? still trying to figure it out.. sorry if this is a duplicate question

When you open es file its set to open the internal memory. So you will see a list of folders one being downloads. Anything such as movies, pics, music downloaded on the acer will more than likely be in that folder. Pics taken from the camera on the tab will be in a folder called DCIM i believe. Basically anything you want to move will be somewhere in one of the folders on this screen. So for example if you want the whole DCIM folder to your external memory card you will have to long press the folder a menu will pop up choose copy (unfortunately move is not an option if you try it it will tell you it can't be moved) then tap the blue sd card icon in the upper left then the mnt folder then external sd card. Along the bottom middle of the screen you will see some icons tap the first and choose paste. Now once it's successfully copied you can go back to the internal memory (can tap the back arrow or press the house icon) and delete it from there so you don't have doubles.
