Where Does the ShareNow App Store Data?
ShareNow keeps rentals in private storage under its legacy car2go package ID. This post explains the session and map cache.
Last updated
Carsharing ShareNow kept its car2go package through the rebrand. Private storage holds the login session plus the rental cache under that legacy string. The local copy keeps the session active and holds recent rental details and map cache. Invoices and trip history stay on the servers rather than in that folder.
Trips live server side with the ShareNow account. An iOS build exists separately with an unverified ID, so only Android is stated here. A fresh login restores rentals and invoices after reinstall. Quote the full car2go string when looking for the folder, since sharenow guesses match nothing on device.

Frequently asked questions
Do ShareNow rentals transfer phones?
Log into the same ShareNow account on the new phone. Rentals and invoices sync from the servers with the account. Local data holds the session and map cache only, so a fresh login brings the rentals back.
What is the exact ShareNow package name?
The verified ID is com.car2go from the car2go era, now ShareNow. Quote the full car2go string when checking the device. Shorter sharenow guesses match nothing, since the folder kept the legacy name.
