No need to ask a path to the user. Save directly on the destination folder.
For iOs : the specialfolderpath(« Documents »)
For Android, the documents folder could be inaccessible to the user, it is better to use the specialfolderpath("external documents »). Generally the path is something like /Android/Datas/TheIdentifierOfTheApp*/files/ 


*The identifier is the « com.domain.nameoftheApp »  you indicated in the standalone settings. Also, the « write external storage » need to be activated.
