Yes. Just an empty "Folder" entry box as displayed now is basically useless. You could enter a full path in the box manually, true, but no one would really do that, especially when you want to store it in a subfolder located on the disk.
I.e. show the "Choose Folder..." button next to the "Folder" entry box when selecting the "Local folder" option from the "Backup location" combobox and show it when selecting one of the disk from the "Backup location" combobox. Where clicking on the button when "Local folder" is selected will take you to your home folder now, clicking on the button when a disk is selected should take you to the root of that disk. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to deja-dup in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/878807 Title: No "Choose Folder..." button when selecting a storage disk Status in “deja-dup” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When configuring deja-dup through the "Backup" dialog in the settings you can select a disk in the "Storage" section. When doing so you only get an empty "Folder" input field. This happens for local as well as external disks. Not often do you want the backup to be placed directly in the root of the disk though. It would be more efficient to provide a "Choose Folder..." button, just like when selecting the "Local folder" option from the "Backup location" dropdown. Only in this case it would use the selected disk as a base. This would allow you to quickly choose a subfolder and/or create one.
