Is your tablet rooted? Users on unrooted devices can't see the /data/ 
folder.

The engine virtualizes all its files, so the ones you put in the Copy 
Files pane are in the apk but they won't show up separately on the 
device. You can access them with a path relative to the engine, like:

  specialFolderPath("engine") & "/file1.txt"

The app can save files to one of the special folders, either "documents" 
or "cache". If it needs to create new files and you want them in a 
user-accessible area on the SD card (where unrooted users can see them) 
then enable the checkbox "Write external storage" in Standalone 
Settings. Then you can create a folder in "/mnt/sdcard/data/" and write 
files there.
