on my os x laptop I have android sdk installed into /Users/user/dv/android-sdk-utd. But where there is emulator's files?
You can use file-explorer to show the content of your eulator. Even you can pull or push file from emulator. Please follow this link
You can see the directory structure of emulator which is as same as phone.You can explore internal as well external storage of emulator.

I have an "Android Backup" folder with some data inside. Is it possible to emulate this data on a virtual android/ AVD and if so will I be able to access the data?
Are you looking for Using the Emulator?
You can add any file to the sdcard of your emulated device using the terminal.
Edit: Actually the usage of the terminal can be found in the Android Debug Bride description.
I love using Genymotion emulator with such brilliant speed to load Android. It has very wonderful speed but still have some instability performance.
How I can access file in /data/data/ in Genymotion emulator from file explorer in Eclipse? I know that in this device has also installed Superuser permission so I can use this application in root condition. But how I can access this from file explorer?
I know such operation using adb-shell and then basic terminal command also. I have successfully with this method but I want access this through file explorer from eclipse so I can easily pull from emulator.
As of now the only way to access data/data folder on the GenyMotion emulator is by using adb shell commands.
Since the emulator is running inside Oracle VirtualBox, direct access to the storage is a security issue and therefore you wont be able to find it through explorer or eclipse.
The VM saves the storage in .vmdk file format. Which is a virtual machine disk format. The data/data folder is somewhere deep inside that file.

I have an error due to the contents of a file stored in internal storage on my Android Emulator. (I wrote it to file). Is there a way I can view the internal storage used by my app in windows?
I've searched through my whole project folder, sdk, workspace etc and cant find anything. I saw someone in another question say it was in the /data folder, but i dont know where to look for that either.
Thanks
If you want to view the folder/file structure of the running emulator, you can do that with the Android Device Monitor which is included with the SDK.
Specifically, it has a File Explorer, which allows you to browse the folder structure on the device. It also has buttons which give you the adb push/pull functionality but from a GUI if this is easier for you to use.
In Android Studio on Mac you can go to View -> Tool Windows -> Device File Explorer. Here you can use a finder-like structure.
They are stored in an img file inside the avd directory. If you are using Linux you can mount the img file via:
sudo mount -o loop ~/.android/avd/<youremulator>/sdcard.img <mountpoint>
Not sure if there is a way in Windows or Mac to view the contents of the img since they are either in ext3, ext4, or yaffs file system format (depending on what you are emulating) and windows doesn't easily support those file systems.
Your best bet is to use adb to copy the file directly out of the emulator while it is running as shown in adb --help:
adb pull <remote> [<local>] - copy file/dir from device
In Android Studio 3.2 and later you can access a device's internal storage by using the menu item
View -> Tool Windows -> Device File Explorer
See this article for details: https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/device-file-explorer
...and this one to find out where the other components of Android Device Monitor ended up: https://developer.android.com/studio/profile/monitor
In Android N emulator you can easily get access Internal Memory.
Go to Emulator:
Settings -> Memory -> Internal Storage -> Others
Then a pop up will open. Click on explore. Then you will get access of Internal Storage.
in Android Studio 4.1 and later you can access a device's internal storage by using the menu item
View -> Tool Windows -> Device File Explorer -> storage
I am trying to paste an sqlite database containing language details for testing in an AVD emulator. The application into which it is to be tested is mysword4android-3.5.1.apk, which I have installed into the emulator, and it is running. The test database is to be placed in a file "...mnt\sdcard\mysword" - what I can't figure out and find is:
Where in my laptop is this "...mnt\sdcard\mysword" located - all I get are png images or xml files when I search for it on my laptop.
How to place this sqlite database into the location/file so that the app can access it and show it
The makers of the app have simply said to copy and paste this database into the data path where other language databases are located; and this location is "...mnt\sdcard\mysword"
P.S. I have no idea about writing program code. I am using a Windows7 laptop and the AVD emulator is running Android 4.2. If the copy-paste can work that is all I can do.
The file is contained in an emulated SD card in the emulator and therefore not directly visible in the file system on your laptop. Use the tools provided with the Android development kit to move files between the laptop and the emulator file systems.
In particular, the adb pull and adb push commands will be helpful.
I am working on Android application which needs to play audio present in cal folder i.e sfdk folder. My doubt is wehere can I find SDK folder in File/Explorer option of
ddms.I find data and system folders in File/Explorer, but didnot find SDK folder.Can I be helped to sove this issue .
Thanks N Regards
Did you mean the Android APIs which are available with the sdk?
It is present in the project folder in Eclipse.(Couldnt post picture because of low reputation :-))
If you want to see the system files inside the emulator, go the command prompt and type
host $>adb shell
#>ls
You can see all the system files.
If you want to see the Android sdk, you should download the source code from the Android site.http://source.android.com/source/download.html
Thanks,

DDMS displays the content of your phone's internal disk space. There should be a folder named /sdcard that represents the sdcard, if you have one mounted on your phone or emulator.
If by "SDK folder" you mean the SDK that you installed on your PC, it's not going to be shown my DDMS. Feel free to clarify your question.
