Unable to change directory of backups after it has been set #157
Comments
@candroid-man I don't think I understood what you are trying to do? Do you want to change the directory for the automatic backups? I am trying it on my end (Linux Electron app) and it is working as normal. You just have to enable automatic backups (in settings) to see the option to change the default storage directory. |

Describe the bug
Once the user selects a directory for encrypted backups, there is no way to change it (both desktop and mobile). In my case, I put it in the wrong place, as I wanted it to be on my SD card. I even went as far as to delete the directory all together hoping that Notesnook would detect that the directory no longer exists, but after manually backing up my data, it just didn't create any files. Disabling and re-enabling the backups does not help. The issue persisted after rebooting the device.
