To see any hidden data from apps in Google Drive:

On your computer, go to drive.google.com.
Click Settings > Settings.
On the left, click Manage apps > Journey.

I'm wondering the same thing. The app acts like entries are synced/backed up, but there are no actual files in my Google drive.

The data cannot be accessed as of August 20, 2023.
The instruction leads to a option of deleting the data.
My biggest fear is to lose the data and I'd like to retrieve the data event without Journey app.
Is it possible to access the data of Journey on Google Drive?

On your computer, go to drive.google.com.
Click Settings > Settings.
On the left, click Manage apps > Journey.

baronchiu The instructions show you Journey usage in Google Drive. In order to access the entries, kindly use any of Journey's app platform. Could you share with us what is your fear of losing data? Please consider Journey self-host if you truly wish to keep your own journal in your server.

The application data folder is a special hidden folder that your app can use to store application-specific data, such as configuration files. The application data folder is automatically created when you attempt to create a file in it. Use this folder to store any files that the user shouldn't directly interact with. This folder is only accessible by your application and its contents are hidden from the user and from other Drive apps.
