White paper | Xperia™ Z In reality, “sdcard” is a so-called symbolic link to “/data/media”, but from inside an Android application, “/ sdcard” can still be used (for instance, use “sdcard/DCIM/100Android” to find all camera images). Continuing to use /sdcard to access the content area ensures compatibility across different products and Android releases in this regard.
