With Android 11 or higher, applications are not allowed to have access to the directories used by other applications. So that means a file browser will not be able to see into /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.zubersoft.mobilesheetspro/files on higher Android versions. However, with most Android devices, if you connect a USB cable, the Windows device can access that directory through File Explorer.
You said you can't change the folder when selecting "Set the MobileSheets Storage Location". I'm a little confused by that. There should be two icons - an SD card icon and a folder icon. If you tap the folder icon, it should let you pick a different folder on your device (so long as you have granted the "All files access" permission). That could be a new folder under /storage/emulated/0, and then an external file browser would have access to that location. Can you verify that you have granted the all files access permission for MobileSheets? This is normally under the main tablet settings->Apps, tap the three dots at the top right, "Special Access" and then "All files access". That's at least where it is on Samsung devices - I don't have a Chromebook device handy at the moment to check to see if it's the same on ChromeOS.
On a side note, if you tap Import->Local File, then tap the SD card icon at the top, then select "App data directory", that will take you to /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.zubersoft.mobilesheetspro/files, and then you should be able to see all your files.
