When you created the locally-hosted app, which storage container did you select for it? (The default, as seen below, is the `applications` folder.)

I just tested this is 1.9.1 and saw the app (which I called “local”) in the `applications` folder immediately:

[This image is no longer available]

I also see the directory created in my local filesystem.

```
/dsp/platform/storage/applications/local

```

Can you let me know which storage container you selected and confirm that you’re not able to see it in that sub-directory from the Files tab of your DSP’s admin console? And can you check the actual filesystem to see if the folder was actually created or not?
