The best way to manage temporary files using .NET Maui is to use the built-in file system helpers found in the Microsoft.Maui.Storage namespace. These helpers will give you a path that is valid on the device that your code is running on. For temporary files you may want to consider using the path that FileSystem.CacheDirectory returns.

You can use File Handling.

For more information about it, you can refer to File Handling in Xamarin.Forms

You can use this tool to save the data in a file. It is also effective in .NET MAUI projects.

Files are generated on all three platforms, and they can be extracted at any time.

I wrote an example for your reference. Here is the background code:

public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
{
    string fileName = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData), "temp.txt");//address
    public MainPage()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }
    private void mytest(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        File.WriteAllText(fileName, "aaaaazxczxcsaaaazxvcvmaaaaaaaa"); //save
    }
    private async void mycheck(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        await DisplayAlert("Alert", File.ReadAllText(fileName), "OK"); //read
    }
}
