How to move Galaxy S4 apps & games data to external SD card?

Err… Directory Bind is not working on Samsung Galaxy S4 Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. How can I move Galaxy S4 applications and games data to external SD card? No worry, FolderMount comes to rescue. In short, FolderMount is Directory Bind replacement. However, it does have its own limitations. Yes, the free version of FolderMount lets you move 3 folders only. 3 folders are enough for me since I will move 1 Android folder only. The sub folder – data and obb will be moved along, right? Sorry, you can’t move these folders but only individual folder within them. Luckily, paid premium version gives you move unlimited folder and can use Android, Android/obb or Android/data as source directories. Note – root access is needed. Not yet root Galaxy S4?
