Instead of using the MediaBay’s Import and Share button, files can be copied to and from the MediaBay by copying them to and from the Cubasis 3 directory directly. This can be handy for backup purposes (e.g. to copy the whole Cubasis 3 directory to a thumb drive), or for importing or exporting a large number of files or whole directories. The MediaBay in Cubasis is a 1:1 representation of the Cubasis 3 directory. The procedure is a bit different on iOS and Android but it works on both platforms.
Any file that you place directly in the Cubasis 3 directory will be processed and sorted into the right sub folder automatically, provided that the file format is supported by Cubasis. For example, if you place a zip file that contains a project in the Cubasis 3 directory, Cubasis will (at the next launch or after a few seconds) unzip the file and place the project in the Projects sub folder.

Be careful when deleting files from the Cubasis 3 directory from a file manager app, they cannot be retrieved anymore. Only files deleted via the MediaBay’s Delete button in Cubasis will go to the Trash first.
-
If you delete Cubasis from your device, iOS and Android will also delete all the files in the MediaBay (your projects, audio and MIDI files, instruments etc.), so don’t forget to backup your Cubasis data regularly. On Android 10 and later, a popup will give you the option to keep the app data (recommended).
