Where should I copy multimedia files on SD card? I have a Huawei P8 Lite to which I added an SD card.

Using Windows Explorer, I'm not sure where to copy multimedia files so that the files will be found by eg. VLC.

The "SD Card" item contains the following directories:

.backup
Android
backup
DCIM
HuaweiBackup
LOST.DIR


Thank you.
Principially everywhere (except for LOST.DIR, Android and directories starting with a dot like .backup). Apart from that, you might wish to apply some "logic". Defaults are often:


Music: for your music files (have sub-directories below that if you like)
Video: for your video files
Pictures: for photos etc.
Books: for eBooks


Note that your Android device's camera stores its photos/videos below DCIM. The media-scanner will find your media files everywhere, unless you hide a directory and its contents by placing a .nomedia file into it. Several media players (and I assume VLC belongs into this category) also allow you browsing directories manually, independent from the device's media library.
