A file system is a system for organizing files and folders on a storage device. All storage devices (such as computers, USB memory, mobile phones, etc.) have their own file systems.
The iMazing file system function integrates the closed and complex file management system in iOS devices, allowing you to manage files as simple and direct as using Windows file explorer on your computer. Let's find out with the editor below.

Figure 1: Opening the file system
application folder
In the application folder, the file data of a certain application can be managed. For a specific application, there are two ways to view the application folder.
The first viewing method: In the "Backup" folder, you can directly view the application data that was backed up before. If you have not backed up before, you need to use iMazing to make a backup. For the specific backup method, please refer to: Using iMazing to back up iPhone.
The second way to view: To view data in the "Documents" folder, the application needs to support "File Sharing". Due to the built-in sandbox function of iOS devices, each iOS program has an independent file system (storage space), and only Can operate in the corresponding file system, not all applications can directly view the data, whether a specific application supports "file sharing" needs to be checked in the application store.

document folder
The document folder can be regarded as a "U disk". You can use iMazing to import files into the document folder, or export the files from the document folder to the computer for viewing. However, it should be noted that due to the iOS system, these files cannot be directly viewed on the iOS device.

Media folder
In the media folder, you can access the media library of your iOS device.
Figure 4: Media folder
For device security, it is best not to modify files stored in the media folder. Files added in this folder will not show up in the iOS device, and deleting files may corrupt the media database, causing various potential problems.
However, it is safe to copy files from the media folder to your computer where you can modify them.
Logs folder
In this folder, you can access the log files of the system and third-party applications. This function is more suitable for developers, and ordinary users generally do not use the contents of this folder.

backup folder
If you have previously backed up your iOS device, the backup folder will also appear in the file system. In the backup folder, you can view the contents of the previously backed up files.

root folder
This folder is only visible when the device is jailbroken. In this folder, you can see some internal system files that cannot be viewed due to iOS system restrictions.
The above is the introduction of the iMazing file system function. I hope it will be helpful for everyone to get started with this iOS device management software! Click iMazing download to get the software, hurry to experience it.
