Just ordered a brand new 32GB Sandisk Ultra SD Card for my Lumia 535 since my 2 year old Sandisk Ultra 16GB is already dead (you served me well...).
I already posted here almost like 4 months ago about a question on how can I enable NTFS support on Windows 10 Mobile, but since anyone doesn't even know the answer and yes the current build of 10 Mobile on that time I posted it doesn't even support external NTFS support just yet...
Okay back to the topic, now I got my new sdcard, I just wonder if the current build my Lumia is running (10586.11, yes I haven't upgraded to 10586.36 just yet, will do that later) supports external NTFS storage support (Continuum and OTG features on the Lumia 950/XL needs it). So I decided to format my sdcard to NTFS, plug it in to my Lumia 535 with my fingers crossed and HOLY CRAP IT WORKS :D !!! Read/Write works too on NTFS which is great! :D
NTFS features works too, like mklink (symbolic link for Windows), which can be quite useful once Project Astoria comes back to future builds of 10 Mobile or other hacks possible with symlinks...
Anyways, here's an example on how to mklink the documents folder on C:\ to your sdcard (D:\ )
I haven't tried reversing the junction just yet thou (MTP doesn't allow it, maybe root access can... Darn we can do some awesome hacks with reversed junction XD )
And oh yeah, there's some sort of a weird bug with NTFS when installing apps to sdcard with NTFS... It just throws 0x80073cf6... Not sure if it's just me or what... Will do a hard reset on my Lumia after installing 10586.36 and gonna update this thread if I found anything interesting after the update... Stay tuned ;)

Anyways, here's an example on how to mklink the documents folder on C:\ to your sdcard (D:\ )
- On Your PC, create directories of C:\Data\Users\Public\Documents\TestFolder
- On your sdcard, create a documents folder there, but don't create a "TestFolder" folder
- After that, run command prompt as administrator
- Now type in "mklink /j D:\Documents\TestFolder C:\Data\Users\Public\Documents\TestFolder" without quotes (change D: with your sdcard's drive letter on your PC)
- You should see a "TestFolder" shortcut on your sdcard, but it's not really a shortcut...
- Plug your sdcard back to your Lumia
- To test if Symbolic Link works, create a random file on \Documents\TestFolder folder on your phone's C:\ drive, then see if that file exists on your sdcard\Documents\TestFolder\ too... If it does exists even you didn't create that file on your sdcard, symlink works!
