The database that MoneyManagerEx for Android generates and uses, known as the .mmb file, becomes an important file for you to maintain.

On the first run, the app will create a database in the Shared Storage on the device. The purpose for this location is that:

  • it is accessible to the user
  • it is accessible to other apps and scripts, for creating an automated backup, for example.

The exact location is in the directory MoneyManagerEx in the Internal Storage.

Encrypted Database

Depending on circumstances, security features such as encryption can be employed, which is recognized as a .emb file. This is where we can attach a password to the database, and will require a password every time MoneyManagerEx for Android is opened. The encryption feature for the database file (.emb) is not available for the Android version Static Badge.
