Move apps to HDD

[Cocoloco]

How do i move app to the HDD? I use showbox and want the videos to automatically download to the hdd rather than the internal memory.

You need to press c whilst highlighting showbox and direct the d/l folder to your hdd.

Thank you for the quick response. I'll try it out this evening.

What is meant by the 'c' button. I have tried pressing the letter c on the mini keyboard.

Do I need to be in a specific app space?

That's what brings up the context menu while hovering over an addon or if your using the stock remote press 'menu'

It has no effect. I'm on Android 5.1...

Can you confirm you are referring to the Showbox android app not the kodi addon?
If the former, I don't think Showbox supports choosing download location out of the box. You could check settings.
You could also write to Showbox asking them when this functionality will be provided, if at all.
In the meantime, member @Wurzel suggested this possible fix back in 2015. see if it works for you.

"I have found that if you set the download folder in ES File Explorer to the external storage that you require. Then use ShowBOX and choose the film you want to download but rather than download it set the Player to be External rather than Internal and then opt to Watch. This will now pop up a window asking how you want to watch so choose ES Downloader and the film will download to your external storage.
Note this was with the latest ShowBOX and through Android not OpenELEC "

You could also continue to download locally and then move the file to your hdd via file explorer or similar app.
