Describe the bug
Searching a folder to backup in the Android app takes very long. After typing in the name, the suggestion pops up around 20 seconds later.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Have an Android phone with lots of files/folders (~80GB in my case)
  2. Open the backup dialog
  3. Type in the name of the folder to backup e.g Camera
  4. Wait for the suggested folder

Expected behavior
Let me use a folder picker instead of scanning the whole filesystem.

System

  • Google Pixel 4a 5G with Android 13
  • Mobile App Version: 1.40.0 build.63

Maybe something like this could be used?

Can you help provide a video capture? Using the suggested file_picker extension wouldn't work with the rest of the system because the library we use have their own type when it comes to scanning/uploading/using the asset.

We are improving some of the intensive tasks to run on an isolated or a background thread. I believe it would help solve the issue
