Where Does Intel Unison Store Pairing and Files?
Where Intel Unison keeps pairing state, shared files and settings on Windows and Android for repair.
Last updated
Intel Unison pairs a Windows app with an Android companion: pairing keys and message relay state in app private storage on both sides, transferred photos in shared storage on the phone. No side has a stable file to memorize.
Repair through unpair and re-pair rather than file surgery. Permissions and power saving cause most failures. Shared photos copy like any download; pairing state only resets through the apps themselves.

%APPDATA%\Intel\Unison
Pairing and app settings under Roaming on PC installs; Store builds may use a package folder instead, so check both spots. Unpair and re-pair fixes most issues.

Pairing state in app private storage, photos in shared storage. Package name can vary by release, so prefer in-app repair over file browsing. Battery optimization breaks the link silently.
Frequently asked questions
Unison cannot see my phone. How do I fix pairing?
Unpair in the Windows app and the phone app, then pair again from scratch. Most failures come from Bluetooth permissions or battery optimization, not corrupt files. Fresh pairing rebuilds state on both sides.
How do I keep transferred photos when reinstalling?
Use the in-app transfer view or copy them manually; uninstalling wipes app storage. Photos land in shared storage while pairing state stays private. Move shared files before removing either app.
