GitHub user breautek edited a comment on the discussion: Cordova writing to persistent filesystem on browser platform
> Can I get to the actual file that is being written on the file system. Depends on what you mean by this. If you can read the actual file from outside the browser? Then no, the filesystem API on the browser is sandboxed. It uses the browser API if available (e.g. on Chrome) otherwise it fallsback to an IndexedDB implementation. Both implementations are sandboxed/virtual filesystems. No file is actually stored on the physical disk (in a traditional sense). Instead they are stored in some kind of local database as part of browser user data (similar to how cookies or local storage is stored). You can use the filesystem APIs to read the file however from within your app. Relevant Links: - [More on Browser Quirks](https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file?tab=readme-ov-file#browser-quirks) - [Read File Example](https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file?tab=readme-ov-file#read-a-file-) GitHub link: https://github.com/apache/cordova/discussions/472#discussioncomment-8878094 ---- This is an automatically sent email for issues@cordova.apache.org.
