Where Does PipePipe Store Downloads and Backups?

Where PipePipe keeps downloads, backups and subscriptions on Android under scoped storage.

Last updated

PipePipe lives under Android scoped storage, so paths shift by version and there is no stable absolute folder to memorize. Downloads default under the shared Download tree, while subscriptions and settings live in app private storage.

Use the in-app backup for moves. It exports subscriptions, playlists and settings to a zip you can carry across. Manual file copies miss the private database and restore half the state.

Where PipePipe stores this, by platform

Android
/storage/emulated/0/Download/PipePipe

Downloads under shared storage with an app subfolder; exact name can vary by release. Use Settings to confirm, and the in-app backup for subscriptions. No root needed for either.

Frequently asked questions

How do I move PipePipe subscriptions to a new phone?

Use Settings backup to write a zip, then move that zip off the phone. Reinstalls wipe app private storage, so an in-app backup is the only reliable path. Copying folders by hand misses the database.

My PipePipe downloads moved after an update. Where now?

Check PipePipe Settings for the download path. Scoped storage plus per version defaults move it between releases. The Settings field always shows the current folder.
