How do you copy PersistentDataFolder between devices?

Question

Hi all! I'm working with character save data that I want to use on our Android and iPhone build of the game to see if everything loads correctly. This data needs to be read/write hence the location.

So how would I copy the data from my computers build to the Android and iPhone build? Also is there a way to automate this process either through unity or with bash or applescript?

So I found a nifty tool called iFunbox which is a iPhone File Manager which is exactly what I needed so I could just drag and drop files when I need into the persistentDataFolder. It's free so hey here's a link.

On an iOS device I'd look at UIFileSharingEnabled which allows you to drag and drop assets onto the device using iTunes. You can then have a build of your game that knows where to get this data from. (Note that this is different from using persistent data, it's just a trivial way to test your loading.) UIFileSharingEnabled is a flag you set in the app's plist.
