4.4 (I think) only.  They claim it's some sort of security shit, but (I 
would hope due to screaming and moaning by the users) they stopped doing 
it in 5.0.  I can't attribute it to stupidity, so there's nothing left 
but piss-poor judgment.

You have to copy from your computer to the internal storage location 
using whatever file manager tickles your fancy and then move the file to 
the external card with whatever resident file manager came with the 
phone.  At least that worked with the Samsungs.

Not on mine, anyway.  I use ES File explorer for the computer 
-->internal memory and whatever crappy file manager came with the phone 
("My Files"?) to go from the internal memory to the external card.  It 
gets easier with practice :-(
