Where does Anki store media?

Solution 1:

In Windows 7 Win10, default Anki 2.0 installation stores the media files inside this folder:

C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Anki2\yourankiaccountname\collection.media

If this isn't the correct folder for you, find it by following this step by step:

1. Open your Anki
2. Chose your Anki account for which you want to locate the media files
3. Go to Tools Menu
4. Preferences...
5. Backups tab
6. click on Open backup folder
7. You will find the collection.media folder as a sibling folder of the backups folder

Shorter version: Open Anki → Chose your Anki account → Tools Menu → Preferences... → Backups tab → Open backup folder → find backups folder → go up one level → and you find your collection.media folder

Solution 2:

On Ubuntu the right path is:

~/.local/share/Anki2/Benutzer 1/collection.media
