Nexus 3 doesn’t store files in a filesystem like Nexus 2 did, instead it uses a blob store which only tracks repository content, not directory structure. This allows Nexus 3 to handle more formats that weren’t really possible in Nexus 2. I’m not clear what exactly you are looking for, are you trying to figure out where the file is stored on disk? What for?
