Allowing the .DB file to reside elsewhere
#1
I see that the actual database (.db file) remains buried deep in c:\Users even when another drive is selected as the storage area. As an old-schooler who was taught never to keep data in the boot drive (so that the OS can be wiped clean and re-installed--or accidentally trashed--without destroying important user data), I would appreciate the user being given the option to store all important data in the same storage folder as is selected for the "Library" itself. This would make standard backups of only my data drive fully effective in preserving my MobileSheets labors instead of requiring that I also back up parts of the Windows boot drive to be safe. I realize of course that I can use MobileSheets backup but that's a separate process I have to remember vs. the simple "back up all data."

Perhaps as a compromise, the user could be permitted to have MobileSheets automatically perform a backup to a pre-chosen location when exiting or (like in Quicken, for example) offering the suggestion every 3 exits with minimal thinking required to make it happen routinely.

Just got my Surface Pro 7 tablet and played my first few songs on Mobile Sheets and it's a gem!!! Thanks so much for not forcing me to Apple to have this functionality.
