Where Does Paramount+ Store Downloads and Profiles?
Paramount+ keeps profiles and watchlists on its servers with downloads encrypted in a private sandbox per device.
Last updated
Paramount+ profiles are account-side. Watch history, My List, and parental controls sync after login on any device. The sandbox holds session plus encrypted downloads.
Regional app builds carry different package names while sharing one account backend. That mismatch confuses manual backup attempts. The login is the only migration that matters; downloads always start over.

Frequently asked questions
How do offline Paramount+ downloads work?
Download supported shows in-app and watch from the downloads area. Files stay DRM-locked in the sandbox with expiry windows. They cannot be copied out or shared.
How do I move Paramount+ to a new phone?
Log in and profiles, watchlists, and progress return. Downloads stay on the old device and need re-fetching. Regional builds use different package names with one account.
