Where Does TachiyomiSY Store Downloads and Backups?
Where TachiyomiSY keeps manga downloads, backups and settings on Android for full migration.
Last updated
TachiyomiSY follows the Tachiyomi family layout on Android: downloads in shared storage, library and history in app private storage, and portable .proto.gz backups through Settings. The three travel separately.
Use the in-app backup for moves; file copies miss the database. Downloads restore as files without progress unless the backup comes along. Reinstalls wipe private storage, so export before removing the app.
Where TachiyomiSY stores this, by platform
/storage/emulated/0/TachiyomiSY
Downloads in shared storage under an app folder; exact name can vary by release. Library needs the Settings backup. Export before uninstalling.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move TachiyomiSY to a new phone?
Create a backup in Settings, then move the resulting file plus the downloads folder off the phone. Restoring means importing the backup before adding sources. History and tracking need the backup, not just the files.
Where are my TachiyomiSY downloads?
Open Settings, Downloads, and read the download path. Defaults sit under shared storage in a TachiyomiSY folder. Scoped storage moves exact paths between releases, so the field always wins.
