Where does the Files app store files?

Customers sometimes need to test apps that incorporate multimedia or other file upload.

iOS Files app​

The path on iOS isn't consistent, but it can be easily found.

  1. On iOS, open the Files app (not the Files tab on Corellium's web interface) and create a uniquely named directory. In our example, we use dirsearchtest123.
  2. Open the Console tab on Corellium's web interface and search for the directory name.
    find / -type d  -name "dirsearchtest123" 2>/dev/null
  3. You should see a response such as:
    /private/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/D66E0384-1D2E-4588-B8F9-6102D891808C/File Provider Storage/dirsearchtest123

Android Files app​

On Android, the files are stored in the SD Card. Look in the appropriate directory under /mnt/sdcard/.
