Description

Hey,

I want to use a third party datasync between my desktop and android for appflowy. to do so, I need to have access to the android storage.

  1. Where are files stored on Android ?
  2. We should be able to change their location to a public directory.

Have a nice day.

Impact

People who do not want to rely on Appflowy for syncing/backing up their data.

Changing location to public location wouldn't help in this case. We have users with root access who try and see if it is possible to use third party tools to sync the changes, but there were issues due to file format differences between android/PC.
