We didn't provide an official, stable way to access the SD card so far. I explicitely stated in an earlier reply to this list that you should not rely on the SD card being available at the current location: https://lists.sailfishos.org/pipermail/devel/2014-January/003150.html > Please, please, please, please provide a (supported) softlink in the > /home/nemo directory to the sdcard.

If you only use one SD card you can still use that link on your device -- the mountpount is based on the filesystems uuid. We won't provide a default symlink for mainly two reasons: - it would not work with multi partition SD cards - SD card has different speeds and different level of data integrity than the internal storage. Additionally the SD card may be removed at any time, which requires applications to close open files on the SD card. For stable use supportable by use applications therefore need to be aware which storage they're using. We're currently investigating if QStorageInfo is fully suitable for providing SD card access, and will update developer FAQs once done.
