I have some images that I don't want user can see out of my app. In this case I think in saving they in File.DirInternal. The problem is that all images are about 15MB.

As internal memory in phones is limited, which is the best place to save my images???

If I save it in File.DirInternal, and the, user move my app to sd, where are the files saved? In the internal memory or in the SD?

Thanks!!!

Aren't the assets private?


File.DirInternal / File.DirInternalCache

These two folders are stored in the main memory and are private to your application. Other applications cannot access these files.

File.DirInternal / File.DirInternalCache are privates, but files are stored in the internal memory (in the phone). Can I save files in external memory so they are private to the user?

No. The SD card can be taken out and mounted like any regular mass storage device.

So, if I save files in File.DirInternal / File.DirInternalCache, and them user moves my app to SD. Where my files will be? In the SD or in the phone memory?
