I'm currently using Logos Bible Version 28.0.1 on a Macbook Air with Sonoma 14.4.1 OS.  I'm wanting to know where the books are actually stored when I download a book in the app.  For some reason, I can't find this information anywhere and everyone seems to be so secretive with wanting to always know how come someone wants to find this.  I just want to know where they are stored.  Thank you to anyone who can answer this question.

    Chances are, 'Library' is hidden; if so, google to unhide.

    with wanting to always know how come someone wants to find this. 

    Hi Matthew

    DMB has given you the location.

    I don't think there is any secrecy about the location; just bemusement at the question.

    It might be of interest to your fellow Logos users if you would tell us what you are going to do with the information that DMB has provided you with.

    Remember that although the forums are occasionally frequented by Logos staff they are principally occupied by ordinary users similar to you and me.

    And welcome to the forums/

    The Windows location? Or Mac uses the old L4?

    Thank you for the help.  I really appreciate it.  I didn't realize that the 'Library' folder is hidden.  Once I unhid that folder, I was able to find my resources, but not exactly like the folder chain listed.  Once I hit Application support, there was no Logos or Verbum folder.  However, I found it going through the following route:  

    Macintosh HD > Users > yourMacAccount > Library > Containers > Logos Bible > Data > Library > Application Support > Resources

    I'm not sure how come it was stored like this. Perhaps someone else might know.  I have what I was looking for now.  Thank you again.

    Hi Mike,

    Nice to meet you.  As to your question about how I'm going to use the information...I just want to know what is on my computer and where items are stored.  I don't like hidden items on my computer.  It's just a personal preference and it has just seemed strange to me that it wouldn't be easy to find these resources.  Thank you for the help.  Although I've never posted a question before, I have benefited from so many of you in the forum as I've searched for help before.  So many of you have such a wealth of knowledge and I'm truly grateful for the way that you have helped me and others.

    Matthew

    Knowing the location also allows to copy the folder to an external drive to avoid having to download all your resources again in the event of a reinstall or install on another device. Keeping this backup was a big benefit for those of us working with Linux, but can also be extremely beneficial to those users that have data caps and overage charges with their ISP.
