Thanks heaps for the tip Borioo. It helped resolve the same issue on my Z3 Tablet Compact.

Hi everyone, I'm having some problems with my Xperia z3. I updated it to marshmallow but after a factory data reset my phone doesn't allow me to transfer app's data's to micro sd card saying that memory is full, but I have an empty 16 Gb sd card installed so I don't know where the problem is.
Hope in your help

Hi,

I'm having the same issue. Since the update the option of moving app data to the SD card via the transfer function is gone. Now I am unable to reinstall all of the apps I had prior to the update due to size restrictions. I currently have a 64Gb card mounted, so space is not an issue on the card. Was this somehow a part of the update? Is it an unforseen issue? Or was it calculated to reduce our space for apps?

I don't think it's a calculated thing because before the factory data reset I was able to transfer data to micro sd

@GIGI21

How much free internal memory do you have? how are you trying to transfer data to the SD card?

I have 8Gb of internal storage free and 14Gb of sd storage free. The phone is updated to marshmallow and I try to move data's from the option menu selecting the external storage as archive for the app I want to move but it appears a message reporting " insufficient memory"

I had this issue after finally upgrading to MM and it seems that some problem apps need uninstalling/reinstalling to make both the SD card read/write permissions work and also to allow moving the apps to SD.
