Where Does Prime Video Store Downloads and Profiles?
Prime Video keeps profiles and watchlists in your Amazon account with downloads encrypted in a private sandbox per device.
Last updated
Prime Video profiles are account-side. Watch history, watchlists, and channel subscriptions attach to the Amazon login. The sandbox holds session plus encrypted downloads.
Store variants share odd package names across regions while one account backs them all. That mismatch confuses manual backup attempts. The login is the only migration that matters; downloads always start over.
Where Prime Video stores this, by platform

Frequently asked questions
How do offline Prime Video downloads work?
Download supported titles in-app and watch from downloads. Files stay DRM-locked in the sandbox with expiry windows. Channels subscriptions follow the same account.
How do I move Prime Video to a new phone?
Log in with the Amazon account and profiles return. Watchlists and progress sync from the server. Downloads stay on the old device and need re-fetching.
