Where Does Garena Free Fire Store Player Data?
Diamonds, skins and rank live on Garena's servers with your bound account. The app folder holds resource patches and session data.
Last updated
Garena Free Fire keeps player data on its servers, reachable through the login bound to your account: Facebook, Google or VK, depending on region. Diamonds, skins, characters and rank points all belong to that login, and the game restores them on a clean install. Free Fire MAX, the heavier build with the better visuals, shares the same account system since it runs on the same servers, so picking between the two apps does not strand your progress.
Files on the phone cover resource packs, weapon and map data, plus the login session and regional settings. After a reinstall, Free Fire re-downloads whatever the current version needs, which takes a while on slow connections but costs nothing you own. Guest accounts remain the exception: they live and die with the install, so bind a login before your next phone change rather than after.
Where Garena Free Fire stores this, by platform
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.dts.freefireth
Resource packs, maps and sign-in state for the standard build. Free Fire MAX uses com.dts.freefiremax instead. Both hide from file managers on Android 11 and later, and both rebuild their downloads without touching account data.
/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/<guid>/Documents
Per-install container, GUID changes with every reinstall, jailbreak required to browse it. The bound account, not this folder, is what brings back skins and Diamonds.
Frequently asked questions
How do I transfer Free Fire to a new phone?
Bind the game to Facebook, Google or VK in settings, then sign in with the same login on the new device. Skins, characters, Diamonds and rank all come back from Garena's servers. Guest accounts without a bound login cannot be moved.
Do Free Fire and Free Fire MAX share the same progress?
Yes. Both apps run on the same servers and the same account system, so your skins and Diamonds are identical in either. Moving between them is just a reinstall, and browser or PC emulator versions can sign into the same login too.
I played as a guest and lost my account. Any way back?
Without a bound social account there is no portable identity for support to search, and the local files are gone with the install. Some regions offer guest account binding after a purchase receipt check, so ask support if you spent money, but expect a long shot.
