    The directory is different according to the IntegrationMode, which means running AppFlowy on developing mode will not alter the data on release mode.

      IntegrationMode.release

    Directory documentsDir = await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory();
    2
    final directory = Directory('${documentsDir.path}/flowy')
