Old Version | Published before Godot 3 was released. |
I don’t seem to be able to properly search this in the QA since “://” does not seem to be part of the actual query run. So sorry if this was answered before.
I saved a file at “user://config.ini” on Mac, but I ran find and nothing came up in the search. Is it not saved in plain file systems?
Thanks!

In some devices (for example, mobile and consoles) this path is unique for the app. Under desktop operating systems, the engine uses the typical ~/.Name (check the project name under the settings) in OSX and Linux, and APPDATA/Name for Windows.
Windows is \users\user\AppData\Roaming\AppName

Thanks @duke_meister. That helped! Apparently my Mac falls in the “use_godot” case somehow. And also I found Godot has changed my file name from “config.ini” to “config” (stripping off the suffix)

Aha, so I found that Godot didn’t strip my file name, it was me who "export"ed the var in the script, and set the initial value to “user://config”, and that’s stuck within this project. I didn’t notice that lol.

Where can I find the saved file in Android? I can find it anywhere after exporting my game and saving in-game

I just tested this on Windows 10. On that platform, user:// maps to
c:\users[user]\AppData\Roaming\Godot\app_userdata[name of the Godot project]

Hi, were you able to find the file?

For me, using Ubuntu it was located at:
&Home .local/share/godot/app_userdata
But I’ve seen some people say that it’s located at $Home .godot however I did not have such a file.
To add Linux info, specifically Flatpak installation, it’s located at ~/.var/app/org.godotengine.Godot/data/godot/app_userdata/

If you havent exported your game and just run it in the editor the path is
C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Godot\app_userdata\Game Name Here

This Q was helpful for me so just adding this info for completeness.
The user:// prefix is a Godot-specific thing and wouldn’t be recognised in a filesystem search.
According to the File paths in Godot projects page in the official docs, the defaults for what user:// means for each platform are:
%APPDATA%\Godot\app_userdata\[project_name]~/Library/Application Support/Godot/app_userdata/[project_name]~/.local/share/godot/app_userdata/[project_name]Side note: You can also use Project > Open User Data Folder to find the location of the user data folder for your own platform.
You forgot
Android: /data/data/name.of.app/files or /storage usually /sdcard/Android/data/name.of.app/filesand can even be /emulated/0/Android/data/name.of.app/files
Web Opera Browser keeps it in the cache dir set in opera:config

Thanks, that’s great - I didn’t know about those actually!
