Hi everyone.
I'm developing an app for my Fitbit Ionic in order to collect raw accelerometer data.
I know I can transfer some of the files and the data I collect through the APIs, but since it does not seem too easy and intuitive since you are supposed to split the file in chunks, I would like to access the internal storage via, for instance, the command line terminal of my laptop to make everything easier and faster.
Is there any way to do that? Or is there in general a way to transfer the files created from the app I am developing with no need to use the Messaging API?
Thanks to everyone who will take some time to answer.

While the device is connected to the developer bridge, you could use console.log() to output the values into the Fitbit shell, but it's not going to be very useful if you're logging a lot of data.
The messaging API is currently the only real method of getting the data off the device.

Yes I did that. It was quite frustrating for big files, but I made it eventually
