Hi @Gaurangb9 ,

I assume you're running FB on Windows. In Windows, the databases are usually stored under the Documents/Frappe Books directory.

Other than this there are a couple of hacky ways to find where the DB's are located.

  1. DB location is displayed on FB's Title Bar (works on Windows 11) image

  2. DB Location is displayed on the Change DB image
    Click on Change DB and it opens up a page that displays all of the databases Frappe Books has worked with.

I hope this helps.
