Where Wave keeps invoices and receipts on Android and iPhone plus the web, and what syncs. Exact folders are covered below.
Last updated
Wave is accounting cloud with phone capture. Invoices, customers, and reports live in your account per business. The phone caches recent lists and receipt photos.
Same email means same businesses. Shared firms need the same business invite accepted on the new phone. Exact cache names shift with releases. For moves, sign in and let the dashboard download fully before adding receipts. Duplicate businesses usually trace to a second trial email. When in doubt, verify paths inside the app before trusting a remembered folder.
