By default, the Dolby On app stores recordings in internal app space and those recordings are not available to other apps on your mobile device. Recordings become accessible on your device file system when you've exported them.
Save time and find your files fast by choosing a default saving location for your audio and video files. Once you've chosen a default location, the next time you save an audio or video track to your device, the location you've selected will appear.
- Open the Dolby On App and go to the "Settings" screen
- Switch the "Export settings" label on
- Scroll down to "Export settings," then switch the label on (the switch will turn green when on).
- Choose a default file location for files saved to your Android device
- Tap the '"Export Settings" label, and then choose a default saving location for audio files under "Audio files location". Or, choose a default saving location for video files under "Video files location".
- We recommend using "Music" for your audio recordings and "Movies" for your video recordings.
- Tap the '"Export Settings" label, and then choose a default saving location for audio files under "Audio files location". Or, choose a default saving location for video files under "Video files location".
- Allow Dolby On to access files in the folder you've selected

- Choose "Save Audio" or "Save Video" (depending on the default settings you've selected).
- Voila - your track will now appear in the default location you've selected.
How to reset your export settings
- Open the Dolby On App and go to the "Settings" screen.
