I too would like to be able to set the default OneDrive storage folder to my SD card on my android phone.
On my laptop I have a second HDD as the location of the OneDrive folder, so it's separate to the OS drive. On my Surface Pro I use a 512GB micro SD card for the OneDrive folder.
I use these OneDrive folders for all my personal files, music, desktop, etc.
This means that when I change anything on my desktop or any other folder, it all syncs across all my devices. I've got 5 devices that all sync OneDrive like this and it's really useful.
I can't do this on Android and directly browse to a file I want to use, through the file system.
It would also be useful if you damage your phone, as it's easy to remove the SD card with the complete OneDrive contents intact. Not so easy to do if OneDrive on Android is using the phone's built in storage. -

it has been 3 years since this post, and Microsft and Samsung have not figured this out. Good Grief.

My internal memory is full and my SD card is empty. Why can't Gallery/Onedrive sync with the SD card?

Or choose SD card as a destination to offline folders and files

Can't believe I can't select my destination folder like I can on my PC and Surface! :-(

You can now move the app *and* its data to SD card, but that breaks the home screen widget. There needs to be a setting to move only data. Some other apps have this.

More specifically, on Android 8.0 (and previously on 7) on an LG G6 the 1x1 widget continues to work but the 4x1 widget disappears from the list of available widgets after I move OneDrive to external storage. It remains on my homescreen until I reboot the phone, when it disappears from there too.

I updated OneDrive on Android 6, moved it to the external SD Card, and am not seeing any issues with the home screen widget.

Yes, add me to the vote list for the change of OneDrive residential location on the SD card...
2. I suggest also, when OneDrive and other MS Apps on android when located to the SD card that all updates take place on the SD Card, rather than, the user having to move the App to the SD card after the update... very important, since it is a pain to relocate each App back to the SD card after the update...

Allow the app to be moved to SD card, it will help in saving space on devices with smaller internal storage
