Hello @Ayman21999 !

This is a well known issue. Android filesystem restrictions do not allow picking the downloads folder for control, but flutter file picker is not aware of these restrictions yet.

I will look into resolving this for the next update (it might be possible to talk to Android's download manager), but I can't promise that I'll be able to find the solution for it in time.

Until then, you may create a new folder under your Documents folder (or anywhere else) for saving your backups or exports.

Thank you for your report!

Edit 1: For exports specifically, you can expect this to be resolved for the next update as I'm going to use file saving instead of folder picker, which is allowed by Android. However, any other functionality that requires folder picking will most probably still be affected.
