Data Storage

A client is allowed to store profile data internally in any format.

  • 5.0.1 A client must give the user the option to encrypt their .tox data file.

    • This option must be presented on creation of a new profile.
  • 5.0.2 A client should give the user the option to decrypt encrypted profile data.

  • 5.0.3 If a client's internal storage format deviates from the Export format defined in Export Format, it will provide the ability to export its data into the Export format.

  • 5.0.4 A client should store its profile data, in the Export format, in one of the standard platform-specific locations given below:

    • Unix-like : $XDG_DATA_HOME/tox and $HOME/.local/share if $XDG_DATA_HOME is not defined
    • Windows : %APPDATA%/tox/
    • Mac OS X : ~/Library/Application Support/Tox
