Agent17 Save File Location & Backup Guide: Don’t Lose Your Progress!
There is nothing worse than spending hours unlocking characters and leveling up your stats in Agent17, only to realize your save file is gone after a game update or a phone reset.
Because Agent17 is often updated via manual APKs or direct zip downloads, the game doesn’t always “sync” to a cloud automatically. In this guide, we will show you exactly where your save files are hidden on Windows and Android, and how to create a manual backup in seconds.
Where is the Agent17 Save File Location?
Depending on your device, the game stores its data in specific system folders. If you are planning to move your save to a new PC or a new phone, these are the paths you need to copy.
1. Windows PC Location
On Windows, the game usually stores data in the AppData folder (hidden by default).
- Path:
C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\Agent17-XXXXXXXXX - Alternative Path: Check the game folder itself under
Agent17/game/saves.
2. Android Location
Finding files on Android has become harder with recent OS updates, but you can usually find them here using a File Manager:
- Path:
Internal Storage > Android > data > com.agent17.game > files > saves - Note: If you cannot see the
Android/datafolder, you may need to use a third-party app like ZArchiver to grant special permissions.
How to Backup Your Agent17 Save (Step-by-Step)
We recommend backing up your save every time a new version (like v0.26 or v0.27) is released.
- Locate the Folder: Go to the paths mentioned above.
- Copy the “Saves” Folder: Inside the Agent17 folder, you will see a folder named
savesand a file namedpersistent. You need both. - Compress and Store: Right-click (or long-press on mobile) and “Compress to Zip.”
- Move to Cloud: Upload this zip file to your Google Drive or Dropbox. Now, even if your device breaks, your progress is safe.
