Data Storage

See where DataFakery Studio saves your project data.

Data Sources

Database connections are stored in a separate file with the extension *.dfsources. By default, the connection settings in this file are encrypted using AES, allowing them to be securely shared with other users. Despite the encryption, we strongly recommend not storing the *.dfsources file in a source code repository such as Git.

If needed, encryption can be disabled in the project settings under the "Advanced" section, which will result in passwords being stored in plain text.

NTFS Permissions

DataFakery Studio does not require write permissions within the installation directory.
