Why doesn't Android have an OBB folder?

Not being able to create an OBB folder, or not being able to access the OBB folder are common situations for Android users. To overcome these situations, let's first learn more about the OBB folder.

What is the OBB folder?

If you often install games via APK files, you are no stranger to OBB files. Because when installing Android games using APK, APKs or APKm files, it often comes with an additional file called OBB. OBB file (.obb) is an additional file used for some games or applications on Android.

This file contains data that is not stored in the app or game's main package (APK). Normally, OBB files can contain media files, large program content, graphics, etc. Mainly because the APK file capacity is limited, so it needs to be stored in two separate files, OBB and APK. These OBB files often appear when the game feed wants to share more available game data because it is quite heavy in size. Therefore, users must install both APK and OBB files if the game has both of these files to be able to open the application/game with full data.

After downloading the OBB file, you now need to access the OBB folder on your Android phone to edit and copy the file. Or want to install external games/applications for obb separately. However, from Android 11 onwards, users cannot access this OBB folder. Because Android has locked access to folders such as data folder, obb folder. Many of you don't even know where the obb folder is on your smartphone.

In my article, I only mentioned the private OBB folder on Android. As for installing the OBB file, that is, handling the obb file when downloading games/applications on your phone is different. You need to learn the file installation process to open and install this file that comes with your APK link.
