Android Question Use path for backups

[angel_]

I want the user to be able to select a folder (or file) and save that path for file backups. I've been trying saveas, but from what I can't see, it's not possible to get that path and use it to save files. I also need it for B4A and B4i. Is there a solution?

SaveAs - allows you to save a single file in the destination the user chose. It can be a folder on the device or it can be a remote service such as Google Drive.
You can combine it with ContentChooser to let the user restore a saved backup.
Cross platform example: [B4X] TextEditor - Save and load external files

Another option is to use ExternalStorage and let the user choose a specific folder. You will then be able to access it in the future (in most cases).
This feature isn't exactly available in iOS.
