Add Access to Backup Files Back to Mobile Apps

Recently the ability to access backup files was removed from the mobile application (both iOS and Android).

 

Unless they release a separate Backups application then I would suggest that they add back this essential feature.

 

The way I used it was for access to my backed-up Videos to edit them on my iPad.

 

Otherwise now there's no way to access my backup files easily on anything other than desktop.

    It’s so stupid that the backup files can only be accessed from the website, not the mobile app! It is very inconvenient when you have only your phone with you. Please improve!
