1. Automatically change Cloud backup Cloud folder to value of Restored backup when restoring an existing backup from cloud

   I have several different Cloud backup folders to separate notes of different topics. Before I work on any document in a folder of choice, I Restore said folder to make sure I have the latest (as it may have been saved from another device since I opened it on my current device). I then make any desired changes to the notes in question and execute a manual backup before leaving Squid (so other devices can Restore and see the latest updates).

   I had an incident where I created a new Folder (we will call it FOLDER-2 for reference here) to house notes of a new category, created my note I wanted to save, and Backed-up to the Cloud (where it created the newly requested folder). The process to create this folder was implemented by providing an unused name in the "Settings -> Backup and restore -> Cloud backup and export -> Cloud folder" field.

   After backing up this note, I then wanted to work on notes from a previously-existing folder (we will call this FOLDER-1 for reference). I Restored the folder by selecting the desired value (FOLDER-1) from the "Settings -> Backup and restore -> Cloud backup and export -> Restore backup" list selection. I made my desired changes and then Backed-up the notes (as per my routine, to allow other devices to access the new version of said notes).

   I realized too late, however, that the value for the "Cloud folder" was still set to FOLDER-2 from when I had updated that value to create a new backup folder. When I attempted to backup my changes to FOLDER-1 notes, I unintentionally overwrote my new FOLDER-2 backup, obliterating the new note I had just taken and saved to FOLDER-2.

   It would be great if Restoring a backup automatically changed the "Cloud folder" value so that executing a Backup (automatically or manually) will be saved to the desired location. The user would, of course, have the ability to manually change the Cloud folder value after a Restore, if they so desired for any reason,

   Thanks for this feature request! The Cloud Backup Restore process has been updated to include the option to change the current Cloud Folder to the backup being restored. Please give it a try and let us know what you think!
