I have two questions.
1) Where is "Let MobileSheets Manage My Files"? I know it's supposed to be in Storage. But I definitely don't have that option. I can see "Set the MobileSheets Storage Location" but there is no "Let MobileSheets Manage My Files".
Why is that? I am using Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE with the latest software.
2) When I click on micro SD card icon in "Set the MobileSheets Storage Location", it doesn't actually allow me to change the path. I want to save it to Google Drive. Why can't I change the path?
For reference I currently don't have a micro SD card inserted in my tablet.
Thanks.

It sounds like you have not granted the all files access permission. Go to your tablet settings->Apps, tap the three dots at the top right, then special permissions, then all files access, and then turn the toggle to "On" for MobileSheets. Then you can change the options you mentioned.

Thank you! You are right. I found the option now.
I have a few more questions.
1) If I am already saving the back up (MSB file) to Google Drive, are there any benefits in selecting Google Drive in the "Set the MobileSheets Storage Location"?
Basically I want to make sure if my tablet is stolen or broken, I can still restore my work. That's why I don't want to store things locally in the table.
2) I am using an Android tablet now. If I ever switch to an iPad, can I still use the MSB file (backed up from the Android tablet) and restore my work seamlessly on the iPad? Or will there be issues because they are two different operating systems?
Thanks for your all work on this app. It's life changing for a musician!

I answered your questions in the other post, but you can't set the MobileSheets storage location to a Google Drive folder - you have to select a folder on the device itself. This is to ensure MobileSheets can always operate without an internet connection. You can sync your library to a Google Drive folder if desired. On the library screen, tap the three dots at the top right, then Sync Library->Sync to a cloud folder and select a folder in your Google Drive account. The entire library will be uploaded to that folder and you can sync another device to that folder if desired.
Yes, you can certainly restore your Android backup file in the iPadOS version. I definitely do all I can to ensure every feature is supported on all platforms so that it's easy to switch platforms if needed or work with users on other platforms.
