Hi Sergey,

When I executed this statement 
window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0,function(fileSystem) {}, 
function(error){}) in windows phone 8.x, it gave me the access to 
ms-appx://local. I gave an alert to display the output of .toURL() method, it 
displays "ms-appx/://local" in sideloading and ms-appdata://local in WP8.1 
(private data directory), as mentioned here at 
:https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file#windows-file-system-layout.

But When I read windows phone 8.x site at 
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh464936.aspx, it is said 
that "removableStorage" capability has to be added to AppManifest.xml to get 
permission to storage system. But when I did it, it did not work.

By your answer, do you mean that right now one can not access the storage at 
the present moment in WP8.1 ? Please advice.

> The call to window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, 
> function() {}); does not detect the root storage location in windows phone 
> 8.x. Rather it points to private data directory,even after adding   the 
> capability for accessing the local file system (removableStorage) in 
> AppManifest.xml.
> Basically window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 
> 0,function(fileSystem) {}, function(error){}) gives me only "ms-appx://local" 
> path which is actually the private data directory for an app in windows 
> phone. I want to access the root directory of the file system because I am 
> letting the user to store app specific files anywhere in the phone. (It works 
> in Android without specifying anything)
> Basically the above LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT should not point to private 
> data directory, rather it should be the root directory of the local file 
> system.
