Where Does Podcast Addict Store Downloads?
Podcast Addict downloads episodes to shared media folders on Android, with backups covering subscriptions and settings but never MP3s.
Last updated
Podcast Addict draws a firm line between audio and everything else. Downloaded episodes live in shared media folders per storage choice, while the backup system deliberately excludes them. Subscriptions, states, playlists and settings travel in a separate backup file.
Scoped storage ended custom download folders, so modern installs choose internal or card only. Legacy users may still find ancient PodcastAddict roots from before the change. Android-only throughout, with Drive uploads tucked into hidden app storage.
Where Podcast Addict stores this, by platform
/storage/emulated/0/Android/media/com.bambuna.podcastaddict/podcast
Episode audio for the verified package on internal shared storage, with the SD mount mirroring the tree when selected. Pre-2021 installs may use legacy roots. Custom folders no longer allowed for downloads.
Frequently asked questions
Where are my Podcast Addict downloads?
Check /storage/emulated/0/Android/media/com.bambuna.podcastaddict/podcast on internal storage or the matching SD mount. Since the scoped-storage change the app only chooses internal versus card, with older installs possibly stranded in legacy PodcastAddict folders.
How do I back up Podcast Addict without losing downloads?
Run Settings, Backup Restore and Sync, Backup inside the app. It always writes a local file first with an optional Drive upload to hidden app storage. The file carries subscriptions, states, playlists and settings while downloaded audio stays behind.
Where is Podcast Addict on iPhone?
There is none. Podcast Addict is Android-only with no iOS or desktop build, so no other platform path exists. Backup files allow custom folders unlike downloads, which lost that freedom in the scoped-storage era.
