Where Does Air Explorer Store Settings?
Air Explorer keeps account settings in AppData with registry and machine-wide config beside it. Paths and caveats.
Last updated
Air Explorer stores account configuration locally on the machine. User settings files live under AppData, per-user choices also appear in the registry under HKCU, and machine-wide configuration sits in ProgramData. The official help confirms local storage with import and export for accounts, plus an optional startup password.
Treat the exact filenames as unverified. Vendor docs describe behavior rather than paths, and the folder layout below comes from packaging inventories rather than an official page. Confirm on your own install before scripting backups, and use the built-in account export as the portable route.
Where Air Explorer stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\Air Explorer
User settings and account files. Per-user choices mirror in HKCU\Software\Air Explorer, machine-wide config in C:\ProgramData\Air Explorer\Configuration. Layout from packaging data, not vendor docs: verify before scripting. Prefer in-app account export for moves.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Air Explorer accounts?
Use the built-in account import and export rather than copying folders by hand. The export captures cloud logins in portable form. Folder copies work as a secondary snapshot once you confirm the layout on your version.
Does Air Explorer have a portable mode?
No official portable build is documented. The installer accepts a target switch and a Microsoft Store build exists, but both keep settings in the standard locations above. Copying the program folder alone leaves accounts behind.
Where is the Air Explorer password stored?
The optional startup password guards local settings on that machine. It does not travel with account exports in usable form. Set it again on the new PC after importing accounts.
