External Storage
Resprite for Android lets you store project files either in the app’s private directory or in the device’s shared storage. Choose the option that best matches how you back up and manage assets.
note
The Google Play build does not expose shared storage because of store policy restrictions. Use the direct download build if you require this capability.
Internal storage (default)
- Files stay inside Resprite’s sandboxed storage and are only visible through the in-app gallery.
- Android removes these files automatically if the app is uninstalled.
- This mode requires no extra permissions and is the most secure option if you only edit sprites inside Resprite.
External storage
External storage writes projects to Android’s shared media directory so you can open, copy, or back up files with any file manager.
Enable external storage
- Open Settings ▸ General ▸ Manage external storage.
- Follow the system prompt to grant Resprite access to shared storage.
Open the Manage external storage setting
Approve the Android permission prompt
After permission is granted, Resprite continues to read and write the files internally, and you can also manage the same files with other Android tools. Files saved in external storage remain on the device even if you uninstall Resprite.
