Android Studio stores the projects by default in the home folder of the user under AndroidStudioProjects. The main directory contains configuration files for Android Studio and the Gradle build files.

In Intellij/Android Studio, the project itself stores the directory of it's own location. In Eclipse, the IDE itself stores the directory of the projects.

Here's some comparisons between Android Studio and Eclipse:

1) Workspace

Android Studio= C:\Users\582767\AndroidStudioProjects

Eclipse= C:\Users\582767\workspace

2) Package Explorer

Android Studio= Doesn't have one

Eclipse= Has it in the IDE
