SDCARD is a commonly misunderstood term. While many might think it's a file extension, it's rather a storage device used in portable devices like cameras, phones, and tablets.

These file systems are supported by almost all operating systems.

SDCards are extensively used in Android devices to expand storage capacity. Files stored on the SDCard can be accessed through a file manager application, which is commonly pre-installed on many Android devices. For more advanced operations like partitioning or formatting, there are specialized apps like A Parted (SD card Partition) and SD Card Manager.
