Where Does SyncMyTracks Store Sync Folders?
SyncMyTracks GPX folder pairs and account credentials on Android.
Last updated
SyncMyTracks bridges a plain folder of GPX files with fitness services: point it at a Files directory (the Footpath workouts folder is the classic example), add service accounts, and it uploads tracks on schedule. Pair definitions and credentials live in app data.
The GPX files themselves stay ordinary files in your chosen folder, which is the whole point. The app never owns them. Back up the folder for the tracks and screenshot pair screens for the setup, since reinstalls forget every configured route.
Where SyncMyTracks stores this, by platform
Your chosen GPX folder in device storage (tracks) plus app data (pairs)
Create a dedicated folder for exports and select Files Directory as source. Store credentials per service for auto upload. Reinstalling clears pairs; the GPX folder survives untouched.

does SyncMyTracks delete my GPX files
No. It reads and uploads copies, leaving originals in place. Manage the folder yourself; the app only remembers pairs and credentials in its own data.
