Hello Dan,
Are you using an Android device or a Windows device? You posted in the Windows sub-forum, but you mentioned the "Manage files" option which does not exist in the Windows version of MobileSheets. In the Windows version, MobileSheets always has to manage the files due to the way file permissions work with UWP applications. However, if you set up the storage location first, then restored the backup file, it should have extracted files to their original location relative to the storage location root folder.
On Android, if you uncheck the option to let MobileSheets manage your files, then when you restore the backup file, you have to change the "Restore To" location to "Original File Locations". If you did not do this and just selected the default storage location, then that's why MobileSheets did not honor your original folder locations. There are other problems that can occur when doing this too - if you used an SD card, MobileSheets may not have access to the folders on the SD card when restoring so it may fall back to putting files in the storage location.
