When I use the Files app and go to On My iPhone > Studies > Library.studieslib folder, what files should I see inside this folder (excluding the MediaData folder and its contents) ?

thanks

    Some database files. SyncData etc I think. It is not really designed to be looked into. I only keep it there so people can make backups if they wish.

    I mean specifically, how many files do you see in yours? I wonder if I have more than I should.

    I believe there should be 4, as well as some hidden folders that begin with a .

    I don't understand the need to guess. Don't you have your app loaded on your phone?

    At any rate, I have 6. I apparently have 2 or 3 hidden files and/or folders.

    Yes, I have 6 too. Just checked. But I knew that would not be the issue. If that was wrong, nothing would work at all. The app wouldn’t even launch

    I have three files that display the names "Data".
    One updates pretty much daily.
    One used to update regularly, but stopped regular updating when I turned off cloud sync, which makes sense -- now it too only updates when I install a new version of the app.
    And the third _only_ updates when there is an new version of the app installed ( _even_ when sync is active) .

    Everything in order there?

    Yes. They are very complex files. Each set of 3 is a database, playing different roles in how the database works. There isn’t
    anything you can really say about their operation. If they were corrupt, the whole app would crash on launch.

    Data corruption was not my concern.
