Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/LiveContainer/LiveContainer/issues/789

Shared apps, which are needed for multitasking or running multiple LiveContainers, store their data in a shared app group folder that’s inaccessible through the native iOS Files app.

I’m requesting an integrated file browser built directly into LiveContainer, that lets users browse and manage files inside this shared app group folder while apps remain in shared mode.

Currently, to access files, users have to convert their apps back to private mode, use the native Files app to browse files, and then switch back to shared mode for multitasking. Having this integrated file browser would eliminate that constant switching and make multitasking and managing shared app data smoother and more seamless.

It's out of LiveContainer's scope and would be too overkill to implement a file manager just for that. You may use filza to manage files inside shared folder. You can open the folder in lc's settings -> data management -> tap 1st open in filza. This option is available after filza is installed.
