    This directory is corresponding to $SNAP_USER_DATA for your snaps. This is where your snaps will be able to write versioned data under your user account. $HOME for your snap will be set to it as well.

    You will find there:

    • ~/snaps

      • <snap name>

        • <version 1>

          data for version 1

        • <version 2>

          data for version 2

    and so on…
