Sergey Shakhnazarov commented on CB-10515:
------------------------------------------

[~theodarsamuel], the current Windows implementation for PERSISTENT fs points 
to {{ms-appdata}} not to {{ms-appx}} (the correct reference for {{ms-appx}} is 
[cordova.file.applicationDirectory|https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file#where-to-store-files]),
 so this is the correct behavior (this is the application sandboxed private 
storage, which persists restarts).
The issue you are talking about is {{cordova.file.externalRootDirectory}} 
support for Windows, which resolves to ["<sdcard>/" on 
Android|https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file#android-file-system-layout].

> LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT does not detect file system storage

> The call to window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, 
> function() {}); does not detect the root storage location in windows phone 
> 8.x. Rather it points to private data directory,even after adding   the 
> capability for accessing the local file system (removableStorage) in 
> AppManifest.xml.
> Basically window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 
> 0,function(fileSystem) {}, function(error){}) gives me only "ms-appx://local" 
> path which is actually the private data directory for an app in windows 
> phone. I want to access the root directory of the file system because I am 
> letting the user to store app specific files anywhere in the phone. (It works 
> in Android without specifying anything)
> Basically the above LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT should not point to private 
> data directory, rather it should be the root directory of the local file 
> system.
