The system will automatically delete files in this directory when disk space is needed elsewhere on the device, starting with the oldest files first.

firebase.utils.FilePath.CACHES_DIRECTORY;
Copy

Returns an absolute path to the users Documents directory.

Use this directory to place documents that have been created by the user.

Normally this is the external files directory on Android but if no external storage directory found, e.g. removable media has been ejected by the user, it will fall back to internal storage. This may under rare circumstances where device storage environment changes cause the directory to be different between runs of the application

firebase.utils.FilePath.DOCUMENT_DIRECTORY;
Copy

Returns null on iOS, or on Android an absolute path to the directory on the primary shared/external storage device.

Here your application can place persistent files it owns. These files are internal to the application, and not typically visible to the user as media.

Returns null if no external storage directory found, e.g. removable media has been ejected by the user.

firebase.utils.FilePath.EXTERNAL_DIRECTORY;
Copy
