Components

Activity diary is a diary on Android for any kind of activities. It allows notes and pictures to be included with those activities.

Downloaded from fdroid app store.

Proposal

Having a picture inclusion to the activities requires saving them in folders on device storage. There is an option featured in the app to allow selecting picture storage folder. But it doesn't provide navigation to the directory one wants to save into. Even as it shows activity diary, I can't find such folder on my device storage.
I would suggest the inclusion of being able to select a folder by navigating to any one available on the device storage or creating a new folder.

Mockups / Examples

This is a look of the present storage selection.

The navigation can look just like the mock-up below.

Benefits

Being able to select a storage folder is a needed feature in apps dealing with files, and the ease of selection is important, which is provided by directory navigation option.
Since the app doesn't provide a default storage folder on its own, this would enable users choose a folder to get pics saved in.
It would increase performance of the app itself.
