Last updated
Aves stores its media index and preferences in app-private storage on Android. Photos stay in shared folders like Pictures and DCIM. The app reads those places rather than copying images inside.
Manage exclusions and albums inside the app. Direct browsing of Android data folders needs root and varies by version, so in-app exports are the portable copy. Keep photo backups apart from app settings.

Index and prefs live privately. Photos stay in shared storage. Use in-app export for migration across devices.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Aves settings?
Use the in-app backup or export option where available and copy the file off the device. Photos themselves live in shared storage. Settings need the export to travel.
Photos missing from Aves. Where are they?
Look in shared Pictures and DCIM folders first. Aves indexes those locations rather than duplicating photos. Missing items usually mean a folder got excluded.
