How Do I Find My Data Folder on Android?
Contents

Please go to Android system settings, find storage section, click it. From the storage page, find “Files” item, and click it. If there are multiple file managers to open it, please make sure to choose “Open with Files” to open it, which is the system file manager app.

Where is the data folder in Android?

All apps (root or not) have a default data directory, which is /data/data/<package_name> . By default, the apps databases, settings, and all other data go here. This directory is “private” to the app – which means no other app and not even the user can access data in it (without root permissions).

How do I access my data folder?

Tap and hold on the selected items to enter drag-and-drop mode. Move your finger over the “Android” folder, then the “data” folder. Keep moving your finger through the folder hierarchy, and once you’re inside the folder that the files will be placed into, release your finger.
