FastNote question please....

[Dave Estam]

Have a small app "FastNote" which I have copied off the files to my pc from an older S4 which are all .txt based.
My newer phone J7 has a newer version of FastNote and for the life of me I can't find any mention of fastnote or the txt files anywhere. I only have 3 small files on my J7 and would like to add the ones from my old S4.
Any suggestions please....

You probably have to put them in the same folder on the J7 as they were on the S4.

From my OP:

My newer phone J7 has a newer version of FastNote and for the life of me I can't find any mention of fastnote or the txt files anywhere.

Going through all the files on my J7, unable to find any mention of FastNote program/icon or text files anywhere.

or I would have put them in the same folder......

I am not familiar with your phone or FastNote. But you might try opening the app and leaving a new note and then try to find where that note file is stored. I apologize in advance if this proves to be a waste of your time.

Thank you and nothing is a waste of time, learn little each time.
Connecting my various aging and the newer phones all seem to have hidden files that I cant see.
My s4, j3, j7 and the newest s21fe all have FastNote installed and saved txt files, nowhere in any can
I find any mention of the fastnote program or any files with the name of my text files.
Connecting the phones to my pc there are probably 30 folders and opening each one shows nothing of
interest that's why they must be hidden and needs a special file program to explore.
Hoping someone reads this and can suggest something.
Many thanks.

Do you have a play link for Fastnote? I found more than one app with that name and I want to check out the same one you are using to see if I can figure this out for your.

I'm giving it a try now.

So I installed it and created a test file as was unable to locate it on my phone. I wonder if it is using a database for storage of the actual files.

 

[Dave Estam]

Interesting, I find there are many icon/programs that I have installed on my phone that I am unable to find in also...
Think it's a conspiracy.... lol

 

[Dave Estam]

This must be a very difficult question. I will try on another forum and report back, thanks..

Well you can go to windows > Folders > Always see hidden context to see what is hidden.
