I cannot backup the data between PC and ES file in bluestacks, windows folder shows question mark , not sure what that is

Question

I can go to the sharefolder on my PC, but not in the ESfile of bluestacks

Answer 1

I finally found the solution on another site. In Bluestacks under My Apps click on Settings, then Storage then Explore and from there you can access all the folders.

Answer 2

Check whether the actual shared folder exists on Windows. Either this folder is missing or corrupted, recreating the folder may solve this issue.

• Navigate to this path: (Drive):\ProgramData\BlueStacks\Engine\UserData\SharedFolder (Enable "view hidden files" in folder options).
• This shared folder normally has following files Data.vdi and SDcard.vdi (and another folder which typically appears on android device as the shared folder)
• IF you have the above files only, then simply create another folder, which will be the shared folder - give it any name.
• When done use the file explorer and navigate to /storage/sdcard/bstsharedfolder/BstSharedFolder (its automatically created) open this folder and you will see the new sharedfolder that you created earlier.

Answer 3

Shared folders between Windows 10 and Bluestacks 3N

BLUESTACKS :

/storage/sdcard/windows/BstSharedFolder/

WINDOWS 10 :

C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks\Engine\UserData\SharedFolder

To look for files in windows, use Voidtools Everything. I use it for years and there's nothing that comes close to its efficiency. Even with terabytes of small files. Cheers.
