Quote Hi, I've been using Powerdirector for Android on my Note 8 and I'm really enjoying it.

I was wondering if there is any plans to allow users to specify their own output directory? It is a pain to have to manually copy the finished file to another folder in order to have it backed up by Google Photos.

It's actually a limitation, Android does not allow apps to write files to anywhere.
But in your case, Google Photos should be possible.

This isn't actually true, I have quite a few apps which allow you to specify a directory. Pocketcasts allows you to specify a custom folder and download there.

Only when you want to write to the external SD card, and the developer can set a flag that it is allowed to do so.
On the internal storage an app can write anywhere on internal storage (/storage/emulated/0). From Android Q (10) on, there are certain dedicated folders in which you can write a file, but the user can still choose or select a folder inside that tree.

Ao, anyway, this can be a good feature.

Correct. You can select a location on your internal storage or SD card.
