Thanks in advance. If you save the important data on your SD card, you may want to backup SD card to computer. However, what if your computer encounter something unexpected like System Crash or Hard Drive Failure?
You will lose all your data saved on the computer. Thus, backing up files locally is not a great idea to keep the security of your data. To make it, cloud storage like Google Drive will the top choice that could avoid most failure, such as, system crash, virus attack, fire, stolen, etc. The connection is very simple, you only need an available internet.
As known, Google Drive has mobile and desktop apps, so you choose to backup SD card from Android without computer or use desktop app on a PC. It will sync all kinds of data, including, photos, videos, audios, files, etc. Then, continue to see below and backup everything on SD card.
Open the Photo Gallery on your Android Phone and select multiple photos you want to backup, then tap Send button or Menu button on the screen and choose Google Drive. Note: If you want to backup entire Photo Album to google drive, you can choose any photo album and tap Menu button, and then select Google Drive, click OK to backup these selected photo albums.
Unlike Photo Gallery, you can upload more data not just photos. Connect your Android phone to an available network. This selects the SD card as the preferred storage location for all apps, databases, and data. The internal storage remains the preferred storage for all content. When the process is finished, a message displays telling you that your SD card is working.
Tapping on one of the items under Device storage on the Storage screen in the Settings app allows you to view usage information about that storage location. You can manually move apps between internal storage and the SD card, but this is not recommended, and can cause unintended consequences on some devices. You do not need to specify where to store content for each app. By default, apps will always store their content in the preferred storage location. If you only want to store pictures, movies, and music on your SD card, using the SD card as portable storage is a better option for you.
In addition, this option is only available for some apps—the app developer must deem them movable in order for them to be moved. So depending on the apps you want to move, this may or may not be very useful to you. On a stock Android device, such as the Nexus 7, swipe down once to access the Notifications panel, and again to access the Quick Settings panel. Scroll through the list of apps and tap the app you want to move to the SD card.
You can scroll through your own list of apps and choose to move an app that is taking up a significant amount of space on your device. Tap the button to begin moving it. There is a better way to get an overall view of which apps can and cannot be moved to the SD card.

Before partitioning your SD card, be sure to back up all data on your SD card. This partitioning procedure will erase everything on it.
Once your data is backed up, leave the SD card in your PC for the partitioning process. The following screen displays. Select the disk for your SD drive. This is the point at which all the data on the SD card will be erased. The first partition will be used for data. Creating partitions on an SD card so you can install apps to it on an Android device is different from partitioning a drive for a PC. Next, you need to define the type of file system for the data partition. By default, the size of this partition is the available size of the SD card.
Click and hold on the yellow border and drag it to the left until you get the approximate size you want for your data. The remaining space on the SD card is listed as unallocated below the data partition you just created. Now, you need to define the second partition for the apps. Windows can only recognize the first partition on a removable disk. However, since we are not using this SD card on a Windows PC, we can continue to create the second partition.
The remaining space on the SD card is automatically used for the second partition. However, the changes are not final yet. A confirmation dialog box displays making sure you want to apply the changes. Now that you have a properly partitioned SD card, insert it back into your Android device and boot up the device.

Would you like to answer one of these unanswered questions instead? I am a super-admin for my organization and I would like to download all Google Drive files for every user in my organization in order to have an offline copy of all information.
These files may or may not be shared with me. It's okay if this is a manual operation, however it would be better if it could be automated. I do not want to go the route of having to have all documents shared with me so I can see all of the docs. I would rather just download all files in sub folders based on the users in my organization. I've taken a look at Google Takeout but that needs to be done user by user.
