Where Does xTool Creative Space Store Projects and Data?
xTool Creative Space saves projects as .xcs files wherever you choose, keeps app data in Local Storage under its AppData folder, and syncs cloud copies in My Space.
Last updated
xTool Creative Space splits storage three ways and each answers a different lost file question. Finished work lives in .xcs project files saved wherever you put them. Cloud copies live in My Space when signed in. The app itself keeps working data in a Local Storage folder that support uses for troubleshooting.
The Local Storage path is the fixed one worth memorizing. It sits under the roaming AppData folder on Windows and Application Support on Mac. Project files are portable by design: open any .xcs and the software matches the machine profile from the file, which also lets you preview settings for machines you do not own.
Where xTool Creative Space stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\xTool Creative Space\Local Storage
App working data used in support troubleshooting. Exit XCS fully before browsing here. Your actual .xcs projects live wherever you saved them, plus My Space when signed in.
~/Library/Application Support/xTool Creative Space/Local Storage
Same role as on Windows. Enable hidden folder viewing to see Library in Finder. Pair with .xcs files saved in Documents for a backup routine that survives reinstalls.
Frequently asked questions
XCS lost my work, where do I look?
Check the Local Storage folder for your platform first, since support points there for troubleshooting. Fully exit XCS before touching it. If projects vanished after an update, look for them in My Space cloud storage or reimport the .xcs files you saved.
Are my projects automatically in the cloud?
No. My Space holds .xcs cloud projects tied to your account with a small free quota, and the editor uploads on save when signed in. Local .xcs files on your disk stay local unless you upload them from My Space.
