Where Does the Miles App Store Data?
Miles carsharing keeps rentals, session and map cache only in private storage under a driveby package ID.
Last updated
Carsharing Miles runs an unbranded driveby package on both mobile OSes. Private storage holds the login session plus the rental cache. The unbranded string is correct, though it still looks odd at first. Session data and map cache sit together there, apart from trips that live server side.
The ID surprises people expecting miles in the string. Trips live server side with invoices as backup. Rentals and invoices sync from servers after login. Fresh login restores everything after reinstall, so the move takes little effort.
