Where Does Crunchyroll Store Downloads and Watchlists?
Crunchyroll keeps watchlists and progress on its servers with downloads encrypted in a private sandbox per device.
Last updated
Crunchyroll profiles are account-side. Watch history, queue, watchlists, and maturity settings sync after login on any device. The sandbox holds session plus encrypted downloads.
Premium decides what downloads at all. Free tiers stream only, so the sandbox stays light. Offline episodes expire and refresh from the catalog on demand.

Frequently asked questions
How do offline Crunchyroll downloads work?
Download supported episodes in-app and watch from downloads. Files stay DRM-locked in the sandbox with expiry windows. They cannot be copied out or shared.
How do I move Crunchyroll to a new phone?
Log in and watchlists, history, and queue return. Downloads stay on the old device and need re-fetching. Premium status follows the account, not the files.
