          @cr9c You can found for example Pictures, Downloads etc under:
          ~/.local/share/waydroid/data/media/0/

            Many thanks @ruditimmer

            I was asking myself, except going to this files through the terminal and commands lines can you confirm me the fale from "......./data/" are not accessible through "files app", aren't they ?

              @cr9c You need to do first and sudo -s and then sudo mount -o remount,rw / it would be accessable normoly. but not into the file app need to do it into terminal best way would be via ssh...

                    For me it's OK till

                    ~/.local/share/waydroid/data
                    

                    If I want to go to

                    ~/.local/share/waydroid/data/media/0

                      And if you use file manager app for seeing, copying files/folders from there to your UT home folders ?

                        @cr9c Ah... Maybe because Waydroid gets the permissions wrong. Or because they are symlinks?
                        I don't have a Waydroid capable device myself. What does:
                        $ ls -al ~/.local/share/waydroid/data
                        give as output?

                          Impossible through File App.

                              I believe it is a symlink to /var/lib/waydroid/data, or the other way around... ?

                                Yes it's ok (obviously ... no ?!)
                                But my concern through this post was regarding accessibility to Waydroid rep. via AppFile of UT.
                                I know now it's not possible

                                Anyway thank you.

                                  But it is: Everything under the user's home folder is accessible from the File Manager app. Just tap the settings icon in the upper right corner and toggle on the option Show Hidden Files.

                                    I guess my post wasn't clear enough :anxious_face_with_sweat:

                                    Again I can't go through waydroid folder in File manager app !
                                    It's forbidden after ~/.local/share/waydroid/data/

                                    So my question is ... is there any clue to access to Waydroid folders in File manager App ?

                                      Ah, no.. your post was clear. My reading comprehension skills are lacking.
                                      There is no way to run GUI apps as root in Ubuntu Touch, and since the folder you are targeting is owned by root (erroneously, if you ask me) then there is no way to browse them in that app.
                                      But this probably should be raised as an issue against the Waydroid repo.
