Where Does Expensify Store Receipts and Reports?
Where Expensify keeps receipts and reports on Android and iPhone plus the web, and what syncs. Full paths are listed below.
Last updated
Expensify is expense cloud with phone capture. Reports, policies, and cards live in your account. The phone caches recent lists and receipt photos.
Same email means same policies. Company cards need the same domain invite accepted anew. Exact cache names shift with New versus Classic builds. For moves, sign in and let the inbox download fully before scanning receipts. Duplicate policies usually trace to a second trial email. When in doubt, verify paths inside the app before trusting a remembered folder.
