How to access file /data/data from android emulator from Genymotion?

Question

I love using Genymotion emulator with such brilliant speed to load Android. It has very wonderful speed but still have some instability performance.

How I can access file in /data/data/ in Genymotion emulator from file explorer in Eclipse? I know that in this device has also installed Superuser permission so I can use this application in root condition. But how I can access this from file explorer?

I know such operation using adb-shell and then basic terminal command also. I have successfully with this method but I want access this through file explorer from eclipse so I can easily pull from emulator.

Solution

As of now the only way to access data/data folder on the GenyMotion emulator is by using adb shell commands. Since the emulator is running inside Oracle VirtualBox, direct access to the storage is a security issue and therefore you wont be able to find it through explorer or eclipse. The VM saves the storage in .vmdk file format. Which is a virtual machine disk format. The data/data folder is somewhere deep inside that file.
