3) It makes it easier to use a tool like dropsync

or, just default to some folder other than the root folder. I vote for /storage/emulated/0/data, since that is the place a lot of other programs use.
I decided to do nothing special because there isn't anything that would satisfy everyone, or even a majority. A user can navigate to wherever s/he wants to save the file. The file can be named whatever s/he wants; tapping on an existing file will overwrite it. The user might then do something to add the file to a cloud storage folder, which may or may not require a specific folder. When opening a backup, tapping on a backup file will open it. It works. It is used rarely.

I guess I am saying that this is too low a priority on my list of issues to worry about.
