Hello @Marnie3 

If you've set the app to show local files in the device, then any audio file saved to device will automatically show up in Spotify, including call recordings.

However, local files are private and aren't accessible to other users out there. So, there's no need to worry.

Take care

Is this true if you are sharing your plan with family members? What about if you are blending a folder with another user?

Hey @Csomething,

Yep, the above still stands. The files need to be physically stored on the specific device in order to be playable. The Local files folder is private and is only visible to you, but note that if you have local files added to some of your public playlists, others will be able to see them, but not play them. If you don't want this, you can make your playlists private.

Hope this clears things up. The Community is always here if there's anything else you need assistance with.

Cheers 🤘
