Keepass2android: Backup storage place in Android

Created on 6 Jul 2018 · 3Comments · Source: PhilippC/keepass2android

Can you please inform us where we can find the "local Backup" in Android 8.0.0?

Is it intended as a full blown backup that we can open, in case of an emergency with the original database?

Same questions for the local cache copy...

Thanks for the wonderfull app!

Dear PhilippC,

Thanks for your reply!

As I am a novice on Android, would you mind explaining the drive and path of the directories you mentioned: "App's cache directory" and "NoBackupFilesDir"?

Should they be visible and writeable in an 'explorer' on a non-rooted device?

Sincerely, Ton.

the local backup is placed under the app's so called "NoBackupFilesDir" (an internal directory which is not backed up by Android/Google).
File storage caching is stored in the App's cache directory. This is not ideal as this might be cleared by the Android OS if low on memory, which is why I might move this to NoBackupFilesDir in the future as well.
