Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

We can simply use System.Environment.GetFolderPath() to access the file path on each platform .

Sample code

   public string GetPath()  
   {  
       var path= Path.Combine(System.Environment.GetFolderPath(System.Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal), "count.txt");  
     
       if (backingFile == null || !File.Exists(backingFile))  
       {  
           return ;  
       }  
       return path;  
   }  

Check the exact directories path on each platform

iOS Application directories

Android internal storage
