🚀 Feature request: Support directly reading a local copy of Save Data from PC version on Android for sync apps like SyncThing

[cheatfreak47]

🔖 Describe the solution you'd like

A FOSS program a lot of people use called SyncThing can be used to perform syncing of files from one device to another over LAN trivially. Most people use this for something like a KeePass Database, but it could be used to fully automatically copy over the most recent PC version saves for NMS Assistant to read from. No Man's Sky saves are notably rather tiny, so it wouldn't be a substantial storage sink.

From the NMS Assistant app side, this would be basically just adding support for reading a PC save folder out of a directory on Android- so that means getting the permission to the folder probably, saving the location, and allowing the user to pick which save file it reads from the synced folder and probably saving that too, and then automatically reading and updating the data from that save on launch, maybe pull down to refresh, or whatever.

This also means if the user just wants to do a one time copy to play with the feature, that's also possible. Just seems like a good idea overall, probably.

I'm not sure about the viability of this idea on IOS since I'm not really sure how SyncThing clients on IOS work, nor how IOS handles filesystem stuff. (I do not own any Apple Devices)

But, assuming it's possible to use SyncThing to store local copies of the files on the user's iPhone or iPad, I don't see why it wouldn't also be possible there.
