Where Does Mangayomi Store Downloads and Backups?
Mangayomi centers on one storage folder you pick, with downloads, backups, and local sources under it like its Tachiyomi cousins.
Last updated
Mangayomi follows the Tachiyomi storage model. One root folder holds downloads by source and title, scheduled backups, and a local folder for your own files. Pick it during setup and the app builds the tree.
Top level internal storage works best. System folders trigger scoped storage errors on modern Android, and SD cards corrupt large libraries more often. Confirm the root in data and storage settings after updates, since major versions sometimes ask to regrant access.

/storage/emulated/0/Mangayomi/
User chosen root with downloads, backup, and local children. Contains the whole library, so include it in device backups. Reindex downloads after moving files by hand.
Frequently asked questions
Which folder should Mangayomi use for storage?
Create a Mangayomi folder at the top level of internal storage and select it under data and storage. Avoid Documents or Downloads, since scoped storage restrictions cause access errors there.
How do Mangayomi backups work?
Enable automatic backups and copy the backup folder elsewhere on a schedule. Filenames carry timestamps, and the shared backup format restores across compatible forks.
