+Due to the [[manual:faq:android_11_filesystem|recent changes in the Android file system]] the **transfer of the app data to the private folder** in /Android/data/ directory will launch after the app update. When only a single app is installed on the device (the other Locus is not installed), the data transfer is simple:
-  * one app (Locus Map 4.4.x or Locus Map Pro 3.55.x) is installed
+  * one app (Locus Map 4.4.x or Locus Map Classic 3.55.x) is installed
-  * download and install Locus Map 4.5 or Locus Map Pro 3.56
+  * download and install the update (Locus Map 4.5 or Locus Map Classic 3.56)
   * during the app initialization, you are notified of the app directory /Locus/ stored in the unsupported part of the internal storage:\\ {{ :manual:faq:page_force_move_root_info_lma.jpg?nolink |}}
-  * by accepting it, Locus smoothly transfers the whole directory into its private folder
+  * after accepting it, you can **select the private folder** into which the data will be transferred - either in the **internal storage** or on the **external SD card** (can be significantly slower)
-  * after the app restarts, all is done and working as before
+  * you can also **[[manual:faq:cusom_subdirs|merge data from your custom-defined subdirectories]]**:\\ {{ :manual:faq:page_move_root_dir_with_custom.jpg?nolink |}}
+  * Locus **smoothly transfers all the original data into its private folder**
+  * the **process may take a few minutes** depending on the size of your data
+  * after the **app restarts**, all is done and working as before
 === What if I refuse? ===
-  * the app update is cleanly installed into the private folder
+  * you can go on using the app as before
-  * it has **no access to the original data** - it contains an **empty database and no offline maps**
+  * but you are notified of the app data transfer at **each next start of the app**
-  * the app is fully operable but when you start filling the new database with new tracks or points, you risk losing them if you decide to load the original data later - **they'll be overwritten**
+  * you can **move the original data any time** also from the app **main menu**:\\ {{ :manual:faq:app_transfer.jpg?nolink |}}\\ or from //settings > miscellaneous > default directory//.
