title: Xamarin.Forms - How to access /data/user/0/com.companyname.notes/files/.local/share/
body: <p>I was following a small  <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/get-started/quickstarts/single-page?pivots=windows" rel="noreferrer">tutorial of Microsoft.</a><br>
  Which basically saves your text input onto the internal memory of your device.</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-cs prettyprint-override"><code>String _filename = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData), "Notes.txt");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Results in: <code>/data/user/0/com.companyname.notes/files/.local/share/Notes.txt</code> for me.<br /><br /></p>
  
  <p>Now, while everything works, I would like to see this Notes.txt file in the folder.</p>
  
  <p>I have searched far and wide, but can't seem to find a way to locate this file on my device. <br />
  I can go to <em>Android/data/com.companyname.notes/files</em> but then I only see a <em>._override_</em> folder with the app project files in it, but without the <em>Notes.txt</em></p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
