Where Does Quantumult X Store Profiles and Backups?
Quantumult X keeps profiles, scripts, and rules in its On My iPhone folder with iCloud Drive mirrors under Quantumult X, exported as encrypted .conf for backups.
Last updated
Quantumult X splits storage between local app folders and iCloud Drive mirrors. Profiles, scripts, and rule snippets exist in both On My iPhone and iCloud variants of Quantumult X folders. The app reads either, which enables manual syncing when automatic sync misbehaves.
Encrypted exports are the real backup story. Settings export produces a passworded .conf capturing everything, unlike file copies that miss app internals. Schedule exports since proxy setups accrete months of tuning that hurts to rebuild.
Where Quantumult X stores this, by platform
On My iPhone/Quantumult X + iCloud Drive/Quantumult X
Profiles, Scripts, and Data folders locally plus iCloud mirrors. Encrypted .conf exports back up everything. Never sync the raw folder directly across devices.
iCloud Drive/Quantumult X/Data
Same iCloud Drive mirror reaches Mac builds. Local folders stay per device. Export and import moves setups between them.
