is it possible for a villain to access files in the documents directory at runtime? For example, from screen A to B a file is downloaded, but once app closes the file is deleted; can the file still somehow be accessed (may be a dumb q)
Cheers,

Hi,
The data stored in document directory will be there of an app, unless the app gets un-Installed from that device.
Thus storing high-score/login credentials/status etc, document directory is the best approach in corona sdk.
Any of the directories can only be accessed by the app itself in the corona, whereas in native if u want u can have shared preference for sharing same memory for two diff apps.
Even I don’t think in android there’s a way to access app memory whether in form of any directory we can access externally from outside the app.
While if u want to access any of the app memory through the app itself you can at runtime.

What Assif said is basically true. However Android devices can be rooted and at that point, you have to assume someone who tries hard enough and knows where to look can get to your documents directory. If the file is deleted there is a good chance they won’t be able to get to it,
