Thanks for your reply and tip with regards to the multiple directories. Your OTG link idea would work I think. However I can't root the phone. That would break Good for Enterprise which I have to use to access company email and calendar. I know there are some proposed work arounds, but I am too cowardly to risk it.

For your OTG experiments. You should know, that in my experience, this is in the realm of experimental science. A lot depends on the quality of the cable, and in any case it either works or it doesn't. Sometimes trying it multiple times while rebooting the device (reminds one of Windows) makes it work. For an external hard drive, a separate power connection is a must, and it should be powered up before connecting the OTG cable.
