Where Does PineDrama Store Cache and Watch Data?
PineDrama keeps episode cache in app-private storage on Android and iPhone, while watch progress syncs through your TikTok account.
Last updated
PineDrama is TikTok's official short-drama app, with a 10 million plus install count on Google Play and a spot near the top of the App Store's entertainment chart. Episodes stream in one to three minute bites, and the app caches video aggressively so playback survives bad connections.
None of that cache is meant to be browsed. It lives in app-private storage, managed from inside the app. Watch progress is the part that follows you: sign in with TikTok and your place in a series carries across the app and TikTok itself, which is the hook the store listing leans on.
Where PineDrama stores this, by platform
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.ss.android.ttmd.video
Scoped storage for the app, per the Google Play listing. The video cache accumulating here is why PineDrama grows in storage settings over time. Clearing cache from inside the app trims it without touching your account or your watch progress.
/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/<guid>
The app's container in the iOS sandbox, where the guid changes per install. The iPhone Storage screen is the practical place to see and manage the cache. Deleting the app removes the cached episodes with it; they re-download as you watch.
Frequently asked questions
Why is PineDrama taking up so much storage?
It caches episodes for smooth playback, and short-drama binges add up fast. Use the app's own clear cache option or the system storage screen. Your TikTok-linked progress and watchlist are unaffected by clearing cache.
Will I lose my place in a series after clearing data?
If you are signed in with TikTok, no. Watch progress syncs with the account, so signing back in restores your place and watchlist. Signing in again is the only step after a full data clear.
Does PineDrama store episodes I can copy somewhere else?
No. The cache is app-managed video delivered from TikTok's service, stored in private app storage on both platforms. There is no user-facing folder holding playable files to move around.
