Just found it is storing in "QlikShare" folder which we created during installation of Qlik sense.

usually in the subfolder of "c:/QlikShare\StaticContent\AppContent\...."

I'm still trying to figure this one out. How do I download an excel spreadsheet that was previously uploaded for an app by just knowing that it is in 

lib://AttachedFiles/some_name.xlsx ?

Nm I figured this out. In the QMC I went to Data Connections where I found the "AttachedFiles" connection and when I clicked it I could see the connection string that showed the server name and the full path ending in \<App ID> i.e. (\\OURSERVER\QlikAssets\StaticContent\AppContent\<APP_ID> so I looked up the ID of the app that had the attached file, logged into the server and snagged that XLSX file (In case this helps anyone in the future).
