      I understand that when switching from internal to external storage a share folder on USB drive is created and used.

      Just a few additional questions:

      • what happens when Recalbox is set to external storage, but no USB drive is present. Does it default back to the internal share folder ?
      • Is the internal share folder completely ignored once an external one is present and used or are they both used ?
      • when using an external drive, I assume I have to move associated files like BIOS files or config files (basically everything in the share folder) as well, right ?

      Thanks in advance for helping me with these questions!

          @fudoh As I guess your next question will be "can't I sync my SD stuff to my USB drive ?" I say YES : https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Use-an-external-usb-storage-device-on-recalbox-(EN)#optional--sync-your-usb-key-with-your-sd
