Inside the application folder, you'll find the following sub-folders: | Inside the application folder, you'll find the following sub-folders: |
* ''**/datastore/**'', where the application stores downloaded data like [[en:help:v2:maps#on-demand_maps|on-demand maps]], [[en:help:v2:elevations#digital_elevation_model_dem|elevations]], etc; | * ''**/datastore/**'', where the application stores downloaded data like [[en:help:v2:maps#on-demand_maps|on-demand maps]], [[en:help:v2:elevations#digital_elevation_model_dem|elevations]], etc; |
* ''**/icons/**'', where you can store your [[en:help:v2:landmarks:custom-icons|custom icons]]; | * ''**/icons/**'', where you can store your [[en:help:v2:placemarks:custom-icons|custom icons]]; |
* ''**/landmarks/**'', where the application stores (by default) the landmarks you create (waypoints, routes, tracks, areas); | * ''**/landmarks/**'', where the application stores (by default) the landmarks you create (waypoints, routes, tracks, areas); |

For AlpineQuest Lite, the path of this folder is "''**/Android/data/psyberia.alpinequest.free/files/**''". | For AlpineQuest Lite, the path of this folder is "''**/Android/data/psyberia.alpinequest.free/files/**''". |

Until better solutions are found, here are some workarounds: | In addition, applications also have access to one "media" folder per storage device, if allowed by the user. |
| For AlpineQuest Pro, the path of this media folder is "''**/Android/media/psyberia.alpinequest.full/**''".\\ |
| For AlpineQuest Lite, the path of this media folder is "''**/Android/media/psyberia.alpinequest.free/**''". |

**Placemarks** | Here are some workarounds: |
| |
| For **Placemarks**, either |
* Move your placemarks inside an application specific folder, inside the "''**landmarks/**''" sub-folder. For AlpineQuest Pro, that would be "''**/Android/data/psyberia.alpinequest.full/files/landmarks/**''"; | * Move your placemarks inside an application specific folder, inside the "''**landmarks/**''" sub-folder. For AlpineQuest Pro, that would be "''**/Android/data/psyberia.alpinequest.full/files/landmarks/**''"; |
* Open your placemarks from your file manager, the application will be listed in the possible choices for handling this file. | * Or: Move your placemarks inside an application specific media folder. For AlpineQuest Pro, that would be "''**/Android/media/psyberia.alpinequest.full/**''"; |
| * Or: Open your placemarks from your file manager, the application will be listed in the possible choices for handling this file. |

**Maps** | For **Maps**, either |
* Move your maps inside an application specific folder, inside the "''**maps/**''" sub-folder. For AlpineQuest Pro, that would be "''**/Android/data/psyberia.alpinequest.full/files/maps/**''"; | * Move your maps inside an application specific folder, inside the "''**maps/**''" sub-folder. For AlpineQuest Pro, that would be "''**/Android/data/psyberia.alpinequest.full/files/maps/**''"; |
* Add the file extension ''".mp3"'' to your maps, this way the Android system will consider the map file as a media file and will allow the application to access it. For example, rename your QCT map "''my_map.qct''" to "''my_map.qct.mp3''" (do not remove the original "''.qct''" file extension). | * Or: Move your maps inside an application specific media folder.
