Sep 18, 2016  Where are your received files someone sent you via Skype? Open File Explorer, type%appdata% and hit Enter. You will be redirected to the current user’s folders where you’ll find the Skype folder. Open it and then navigate to the folder My Skype Received Files. Here are all your files your contacts sent through Skype. For Skype application, the chat logs are stored into the main.db file of skype user folder. Now I want to backup my chat logs from Skype for business application. I am trying to find out the chat logs file like main.db but it does not exist for business application.
