Yes.

Just an empty "Folder" entry box as displayed now is basically useless.
You could enter a full path in the box manually, true, but no one would
really do that, especially when you want to store it in a subfolder
located on the disk.

I.e. show the "Choose Folder..." button next to the "Folder" entry box
when selecting the "Local folder" option from the "Backup location"
combobox and show it when selecting one of the disk from the "Backup
location" combobox. Where clicking on the button when "Local folder" is
selected will take you to your home folder now, clicking on the button
when a disk is selected should take you to the root of that disk.

Title:
  No "Choose Folder..." button when selecting a storage disk

Status in “deja-dup” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When configuring deja-dup through the "Backup" dialog in the settings
  you can select a disk in the "Storage" section. When doing so you only
  get an empty "Folder" input field. This happens for local as well as
  external disks. Not often do you want the backup to be placed directly
  in the root of the disk though.

  It would be more efficient to provide a "Choose Folder..." button,
  just like when selecting the "Local folder" option from the "Backup
  location" dropdown. Only in this case it would use the selected disk
  as a base. This would allow you to quickly choose a subfolder and/or
  create one.
