Access Application Persistant Data from Hub

Hi there!

First, thanks in advance to anyone who could help.

I'm developing an app with Unity for the Meta Quest 3 and, while running the app,  I will write some data that I will need to access later, when connecting the headset back to the PC.

The problem is that I haven't found on the Developers Hub any folder or anything related.
Is there a way to access the data?

    Yes, but it’s not exposed directly in MQDH UI.

    Your data is in:

    /sdcard/Android/data/<your.package.name>/files/

    Ways to access it:

    • MQDH → Device → File Manager (enable “Show app data” if needed)

    • Or use ADB:

    adb pull /sdcard/Android/data/<your.package.name>/files/

    Notes:

    • Folder only exists after the app writes data once
    • On newer Android versions, access can be restricted → USB Debugging and ADB is the most reliable way

    So: use ADB or MQDH file browser, not a visible “app data” folder by default.
