App data and files
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
Learn how to preserve your app and user data either as files on
the device, in key-value pairs, in a database, or with other data types, and
share data between other apps and devices.
You can also add a backup service to let users store information in the cloud, sync it
across devices, and recover it when they get a new device.
