Sandbox mechanism for iOS. Apps can only access files in their app folders. iOS is not like Android. There is no SD card concept. You cannot directly access images, videos, and other content.Content generated by iOS apps, like, files, cached content, and so on, must be stored in their own sandbox. By default, each sandbox contains 3 folders: Documents, Library, and TMP.
The library includes caches, preferences folders. Documents: Apple recommends that the files created by the program and the file data generated by the app's browsing be saved in this folder, and itunes backup and restore will include this folder library: default settings or other status information for the stored program; library/ Caches: Store the cache file and save the persisted data of the app. For app upgrades or app-closed data save, not synced by itunes, so in order to reduce the time to sync, consider putting some larger files into this folder without needing to back up the files. TMP: Provides a place to instantly create temporary files, but does not need to be persisted. After the app is closed, the data under the folder is deleted. It is also possible that the system is cleared when the program does not execute.
