Answer 1

Are these files static (as in, they are part of the installation package), or are they saved by the application at runtime?

If they are static, you need to put them in different places depending on the platform.

For iOS you put the files in Resources, with a build type of BundleResource and access them with NSBundle.MainBundle.PathForResource.

For Android, the files go in Assets, with a build type of AndroidAsset, and access them with Assets.Open.
