Hi.
So I updated my One Plus 3 to Oxygen OS 5.0 via OTA update. As much as I love everything, especially the integrated Parallel Apps, it's infuriating to know I can't access the storage area of these apps on our phone's internal memory.

Let me explain.

Normally, our internal storage is located at following path: "storage/emulated/0/sdcard.

But incase of Parallel Apps, it's "storage/emulated/999". I was able to access it via both ADB via PC as well as Terminal Emulater using phone. BUT, it's not explorable via any File Explorer software.

My device is not rooted, neither do I want to risk rooting it for now. But I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me with a way to access that storage. Is there a method to create a path shortcut but terminal commands or some other sorcery ?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

There's no way you can access that data nor oneplus ever responded to queries of user's on the oneplus forum for the same. Hope we all somehow get access via stock explorer for that from oneplus and in the mean time If you find any solution somehow than please post here.

Here's the solution for android users:
1. Download ES FILE EXPLORER from Play Store.[This File Explorer is the only exception.]
2. Find "Favourites" in top left corner section.
3. Add your own favourite folder by tapping on "ADD".
4. Name it as you wish and in the path section type "/storage/emulated/999/" and tap ok.
5. Here you go. Now, you can access the 999 folder where you can find all the cloned apps.

For iOS:
1. I don't know man.
2. Go for Apple Store.

Thank me later and have a good day.:)

**Eureka!** Found a way and it can work wirelessly.
**Follow my tutorial, Just discovered it and currently backing up my WhatsApp folder.**

So, First → Get the Filezilla client version.

and MiXplorer Silver - File Manager. Paid Version. But you know what to do with the paid version 😉, Won’t link the links. But go for it,

and obviously know the file path of the DUAL APPS folder in my case it’s /storage/emulated/999/WhatsApp/……….

Now,
Open Mixplorer and then to the right Top corner click on the options and then click on Servers

Next, click the edit button and set the path the location of your Dual app

/storage/emulated/999

Now click start server.

Next, Create Hotspot → Connect your Laptop/Desktop(using a dongle or inbuild Wi-Fi) to the network then, Open Filezilla → You’ll need the location of your FTP server. As in our case, the server we created using MiXplorer,

Note## You’ll find the FTP address in the Notification menu of your phone by MiXplorer, Now in Filezilla Hostname will be the IP address mine was 192.168.XX.X

and port (If you’ve created your port in MiXplorer) else leave it blank and Boom Now, you’re provided with the Storage screen and Just copy whatever you want from There.

To Switch the location of DUAL APPS on the phone.

Select any FOLDER and click on details and you’ll be presented with the details including the location (i.e. /storage/emulated/999/WhatsApp/………. )

Open MiXplorer and click on the options on the Right top corner.

Paste the location of the dual apps Folder. and click on the start FTP server.

The Blue is Our local drive and the Green is remote(DUAL APPS) and RED is the Status of the transfer.

And obviously, it’s efficient for any kind of file transfer using FTP i.e. Wirelessly.
