Can I connect a SD card to my PS4?

[cannie]

Hi I have a Sony xperia L2 phone and I would like to know if I can save music or films onto the SD card and then put it in a USB adapter and use it on my ps4. If so what is the best adapter that I can use. Thank you

Hi @cannie, welcome to our forum!

This is a bit tricky for me to answer as I can only provide support for your Xperia L2 and not your Playstation, as the support for your Playstation is handled by a different support.

In the Xperia L2 you can move media in general to your SD card, however if you somehow mount the SD card using an adapter in your Playstation 4, that is a question best answered by the Playstation support team that you can reach on the link below.

To move the media to your SD card in your device, follow the instructions below.

1. Settings > Storage & memory > Transfer data.
2. Mark the file types you want to transfer to the memory card, then tap TRANSFER.

I hope that helps!

The problem is that the Playstation 4 will not format a device unless it is 256 gb and Sky say HD is 4x better than sd. It is possible to use a USB below this and its possible Sky is wrong and the technology isn't that good yet. It does look better in the phones internal memory and it would probably look better if it were formated by Playstation due to formatting and encryption methods.

Hi @katco873b,

My knowledge about Playstation in general is almost non existing as we do not support it here at our Xperia forum, so I can't really say if that is true or not, but it does make sense though.

If you want to get your question answered in a better way, get in touch with the Playstation support on the link below.
