Where Does the Aves App Store Data?
Aves gallery keeps vault in private storage on Android under the verified ID. Hidden media and thumbnail cache stay local with no iOS build.
Last updated
Gallery app Aves uses a developer namespaced package on Android. Private storage holds the vault and the thumbnail cache. Hidden media lives in the vault rather than in the shared gallery. The shared gallery does not hold those hidden files. Thumbnails sit beside vault data in private storage.
No iOS build exists, so only Android is covered here. The vault must be backed up from inside the app before wiping. A reinstall without export loses hidden items. Wiping without that backup clears hidden content. Export keeps the set intact for restore.
Where Aves stores this, by platform

Private vault and thumbnail cache for the verified developer package. Back up the vault before wiping.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Aves vault to a new phone?
Back up the vault from inside Aves before switching phones. Albums reimport from storage on the new install. Hidden items live in the vault and need the vault password there. Without that backup, hidden media does not carry over.
How do I clear Aves cache safely?
Clear cache from system settings when thumbnails look stale. This clears thumbnail files while leaving the vault in place. A full storage clear drops the vault without backup. Export first where the app offers it.
