This is discontinued.

You just have to take a look to see that this project isn't even maintained.

[Szymaniuk]

Is there any other really good alternative for this plugin?

[SuperJMN]

I don't really know. If someone can answer, please, do!

[Szymaniuk]

I really didn't have much issues with this plugin, except this one #14
but I'm worry about the future, and if something won't break in next XF/Android/iOS releases.

Anyone :P?

We had a lot of issues with PCLStorage and we submitted a few. The API is quite limited but workable.

Here is another one #61

I would be interested in a replacement too.

I also think that this plugin is discontinued. This is a very bad news 😢
This plugin is still referenced as 'the' xamarin storage plugin in this page :
https://github.com/xamarin/XamarinComponents

@antonioseric opened an issue here xamarin/XamarinComponents#27
He recommands this alternative plugin : https://github.com/PCLExt/PCLExt.FileStorage

Hi, if you want a .NET Standard Storage plugin, please vote here 👍 👍 👍

[xavier-rigau]

Replace or update this plug in please. We desperately need one that is up-to-date and more convenient. Daniel @dsplaisted is no longer actively working on this one. It is workable but it has a few open issues and the interface is limited. I agree with @Binnette

Use System.IO, it's available on Android, iOS and UWP.

[charlesroddie]

@binette System.IO is in .Net Standard 2.0.

[charlesroddie]

@robintschroeder That may be useful for projects that are on .Net Standard 1.x (e.g. needing to support Windows 8 store apps) but not needed for projects that can target .Net Standard 2.0. I migrated from PCLStorage to System.IO and while PCLStorage was an essential solution to a major problem at the time, it's much nicer to use System.IO.

[Szymaniuk]

I also completely get rid of PCLStorage and moved to pure System.IO with .NETStandard 2.0.

Howdy @robintschroeder I managed to get some 1:1 time with the maintainer whilst at mvpsummit. I now have admin privs on this github repo and admin privs on nuget to push new versions. Do you want to take over as maintainer (or at min raise a PR from your fork into this repo so that folks have a smoother upgrade path?)
