Q. Whats Bluestacks?
A. Bluestacks is a Silicon Valley-based software company that produces BlueStacks App Player and BlueStacks Cloud Connect. Both products revolve around enabling Android applications to run on Windows PCs, Macintosh computers and Windows tablets. The company was founded in 2009 by Rosen Sharma, former CTO at McAfee and board member of Cloud.com.


Steps To Find SD Card in your PC

  • First Download 'Root Explorer' (Included Below) and Install 'Root Explorer' in Bluestacks
  • Decide on which directory to give access in BlueStacks. You can either choose an entire hard drive, or a particular folder of your choice.
  • Access the Windows Registry by going to Start >> Run and type in 'regedit' and hit Enter. This opens up the Registry Editor.
  • Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BlueStacks\Guests\Android\ SharedFolder\0.
  • Right Click on 'Path' and click on 'Modify'.
  • Write the path of the folder which you want to include in SD card. (Example C:\SDCard)
  • Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
  • You can find the folder at '(Root)/sdcard/bstfolder/ BstSharedFolder/'

Note
If u don't wanna change your Registry, You can simply copy and paste the file's that you want in SD Card at 'C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks\UserData\SharedFolder\' and find the files at above location in Root Explorer (ie '(Root)/sdcard/bstfolder/ BstSharedFolder/').

Help, no such folder present

Open Root Explorer and go to one of the following location.
  • (Root)/sdcard/bstfolder/BstSharedFolder/
  • (Root)/mnt/sdcard/bstfolder/BstSharedFolder/

If it still not working then reply with the screen shot of root explorer (in /bstfolder)

There is no such folder "User data" in "C/program files/bluestack/".
I want to install game data. What to do?
I have installed root explorer & running latest blue stack. Installed yesterday only.
****************************************************
UPDATE : Let it bro. I change the registry & that solved the problem.
Actually i dont want to do that. But, couldn't wait to play games....

you guys should really read more than write. Just like OP said if you dont want to modify registry then just goto

C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks\UserData\SharedFolder\

and paste your file there

You need to tick 'show hidden files and folders' in the options of windows explorer, to see this folder on your harddrive :)

Has anyone noticed that this shared folder has limited functionality when trying to transfer files from Bluestacks to the PC? It seems like if I try to copy something larger than ~300 megabytes Bluestacks will freeze up. Titanium backup is also unable to successfully use that shared folder as a backup location (also freezes up). I'm trying to find a good way to sync my app data (or at least transfer the Titanium Backup backups to my PC). Any ideas?

How to copy file from window to Bluestack or Bluestack to window

1) download and intall root explorer on your phone
2) go from your computer
3) My Documents/Downloads and paste there any files
4) now open root explorer n go to this path: sdcard/windows/documents/downloads
5) you will find your file under "Downloads"
so the folder "Downloads" is the only path through which files can be transferred between window(computer) and bluestack.. :D:D
