Description
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
The setup can not be completed as you can not pick a directory to save backups. This is due to Android/Google TV lacking com.android.documentsui and/or com.google.android.documentsui.
Steps To Reproduce

  1. Install
  2. Grant permissions
  3. Can not select backup directory due to "You do not have an app that can do this"
  4. Can not procede

Expected behavior
Prompts to open third party file manager (Material Files, Fossify File Manager, Little File manager etc)

Yeah, seems like Google/Android and the OEMs (also LineageOS) are not interested in providing such access. So the only maintainable way is the one that NP took.
