Where Does CloudStream Store Providers and Downloads?
CloudStream is sideloaded and keeps providers, bookmarks, and downloads in its own app storage on Android.
Last updated
CloudStream comes from its own site and repositories, not the Play Store. The app itself is a player shell. Providers arrive as extensions you add by URL, and bookmarks plus settings accumulate in the private sandbox.
Migrations have an order. Extensions first, then settings and bookmarks, then downloads. Skipping the first step leaves bookmarks pointing at nothing. Keep the repository URLs somewhere safe; they are the real config.
Where CloudStream stores this, by platform
/data/data/com.lagradost.cloudstream3
Private sandbox for settings, bookmarks, and installed providers. Media downloads sit in shared storage. Back up settings after re-adding provider repositories on a new device.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move CloudStream to a new device?
Reinstall extensions from their repository URLs first, then restore the settings backup. Bookmarks reference providers, so providers must exist before the restore makes sense.
Does CloudStream support offline downloads?
Yes for supported sources, into shared storage for external players. Provider extensions supply the capability, so a missing download button usually means a missing extension.
