Heroku files written by the app are not visible in bash

I published my first simple app on Heroku with a free dyno. This app writes a simple .txt file, that seems to be correctly written because my API services are working fine. But if I try to check this file by entering in the file system using "heroku run bash -a MYAPP", I can't see that file in the folder I thought to see. It is like the file is not existing. Can someone tell me why? Thanks.

I found this on https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/active-storage-on-heroku:

In addition, any files stored on disk will not be visible from one-off dynos such as a heroku run bash instance or a scheduler task because these commands use new dynos.

It is still not so clear to me, but at least I know it is a normal (but strange) behaviour of Heroku!
