Understanding Data Transfer Between NoxPlayer and Computer
Copying data between NoxPlayer and your computer is essential for users of this popular Android emulator. This process differs from simply moving data from NoxPlayer to your PC. The two types of operations can be summarized as follows:
Copy/Paste: Transferring data between your computer and the emulator.
Move: Relocating all data from NoxPlayer to a specific place on your computer.

How to Transfer Data from NoxPlayer to Your Computer
Before starting, ensure you have enough free space on your computer. Here’s how to calculate the necessary space:
Version
Size (MB)
Version 1
5148
Version 2
879
Version 3
3976
Total required space = 5148 + 879 + 3976 + 2GB (buffer) = 12GB
Step-by-Step Guide to Move NoxPlayer Data
1. Initiate Multi-Drive
Open Multi-Drive and click on the Relocate Emulator Data icon in the upper right corner.
2. Start the Data Transfer
In the window that appears, click on Start to Move to begin the transfer.
3. Select Destination Folder
Choose a location on your computer to save the data by clicking Select Folder .
4. Await Completion
Wait until the data transfer process is completed. This may take some time depending on the amount of data.
5. Confirm Completion
Once finished, NoxPlayer will notify you that "Transference completed." Click OK to close the window.
Check the defined directory for a folder named NOX , which will contain your emulator data.
Important Tips during the Transfer
Do not shut down or close the Multi-Drive or NoxPlayer during transfer.
Ensure no interruptions occur.
Minimize other operations to avoid slowing down the transfer.
Once the move starts, it cannot be canceled without data loss.
Updating Storage Location for Shared Data
NoxPlayer provides options to change the storage location for shared files. Follow these steps:
Change the Nox File Sharing Location on PC
1. Access File Transfer
Open the emulator and navigate to the file transfer icon.
2. Browse for New Location
In the File Transfer dialog, click on Browse to change the path.
3. Confirm Changes
Select the new folder and click Select Folder . Now all shared files will direct to this new location.
