Oh, right, the 32 GB of internal storage is *before* the ~7 GB of operating system. With that plus app data, there isn't quite room there for even 2017!imageless!Wikipedia.
Also, come to think of it, I think my SD card has one of those file-systems that can't handle files above 4 GiB, and one of my Tumblr backup ZIPs is around six gigs. (IIRC, this is fixable but requires wiping the card, and there's probably enough externally stored app data to make that annoying.) So that's two reasons to leave the Tumblr backups on the internal storage and only keep everything *else* on external.
I *could* keep syncing the Tumblr backups manually, but I might just go ahead and give MetaCtrl the $8 for the paid version of the Android client (which would let me sync different bits to different places, as well as some other neat stuff). I gave them $3 a while back primarily as thanks for making such a useful Dropbox client (also it removed the ads, which actually does matter with this app because by its very nature it cannot be used in airplane mode), and I suppose it's reasonable to thank them again.
(I think I'll wait a week first, just to check that the fortnightly backup goes smoothly. The test runs did, though.)
