Are you using ionic-native v3, by chance?

not, is ionic-native 2.4.1…

File.dataDirectory no funciona en ionic-native 2.4.1.

La solución fue declarar globalmente la variable cordova:

import { File, Transfer } from “ionic-native”;

declare var cordova: any;

@Component({
…

y luego:

…
cordova.file.dataDirectory;
…

Don’t. If they were ever relevant, they definitely aren’t now.
