[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-10515?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15130188#comment-15130188 ]

Hi Sergey,
When I executed this statement window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0,function(fileSystem) {}, function(error){}) in windows phone 8.x, it gave me the access to ms-appx://local. I gave an alert to display the output of .toURL() method, it displays "ms-appx/://local" in sideloading and ms-appdata://local in WP8.1 (private data directory), as mentioned here at :https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file#windows-file-system-layout.
But When I read windows phone 8.x site at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh464936.aspx, it is said that "removableStorage" capability has to be added to AppManifest.xml to get permission to storage system. But when I did it, it did not work.
By your answer, do you mean that right now one can not access the storage at the present moment in WP8.1 ? Please advice.

> 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.
