3. Select Storage and click on the external storage drive.

4. Click on Set up as internal storage, and the external device will start formatting.
Now, your external device will be set up as internal storage.
How to Move Apps to the External Storage
After setting up the new internal storage, you can start moving the apps to it.
1. On your Android TV, go to Settings.
2. Click on General Settings and select Apps.
3. Choose the app you want to move and select the new internal storage.
Note: You can’t move all the Android TV apps to your external storage. You can move only the apps that you’ve installed manually.
