For Windows Phone 8.1 development we have this nice tool - Windows Phone Power Tools - which allows you to look into app's actual local storage content and get/put files from/to there: enter image description here

I wonder is there is anything like this for Windows 8.1 / Windows 10 universal apps development?

Or, may be, there is some simple way to get files from the Windows 8.1 app (apart from writing the code to read the file content and, say, "sharing it out" from there via email or something)?

I've also tried to look into c:\Program Files\WindowsApps\ folder, but have not found my development app's sub-folder over there.

I found this link: isostorespy.codeplex.com I gets referenced on the official msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/…tim
@SeaSharp, it seems like this tool also only for Wiindows Phone 8.1 devices. The only reason why "Windows 8" was mentioned there is because this tool will only run on "Windows 8 OS" and upper (i.e. no Windows 7 or anything low), but that is not enough, obviously, The power tools I've mentioned in the question could do the same thing for windows phones, but I'm looking for Windows 8.1 Store app's storage exploration.Sevenate

What you're looking for is in the C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Packages\App.blablabla.YourAppsGuid.blablabla\LocalState and ...\RoamingState folder.

Tip #1: This is a hidden folder, so if you don't have "Show hidden folders and files" enabled, just enter %localappdata%\Packages to quickly get there.
