Hi there! 👋

In order to local that files to work locally on your Windows machine, you can open an explorer then go to this path:

```auto
\\wsl.localhost\docker-desktop-data\data\docker\volumes\DevKinsta\

```

(make sure to launch your Docker Desktop first - and the “Use WSL 2 based engine” is checked there)

Then, you will be able to access that path/folder from your explorer on Windows as shown on my screenshot below (that I took on my Windows 11 pro machine).
