Dink Smalwood Android Save games location

Hi All,
Am playing Dink Smallwood on both my PC and Android devices. The PC installations don't really have any issues since I can freely copy and sync the save games between devices. Android however is a different story. The save games are saved in the Android "Data" folder, which is no longer accessible due to security restrictions. I'd hate having to play the same part of the game again and again on all my (Android) devices. Therefore I would like to ask the following:
- Is there a way to sync the Android save games at least between Android devices?
- Is there a way to choose a different location for save games? (As long as it's not in a secured folder I should be able to sync the filed out)
As for the Android version of the game I'm running, it's the latest version from the Google Play store. Should be version 1.98.
Hope anyone can help.
Thanks in advance!

From my tests in the past to access saved games for cross-platform apps, the only reliable way to get to them is to plug your device into a computer and access the file system that way.
There used to be file explorer apps that could still get to them but that exploit seems to have been patched out - They can be viewable but trying to move/copy them doesn't, at least with what I've tried.
The only other option would be for the app on your android device to have a custom save directory - such as the documents folder on your phone. I've seen some indy games do this in the past.
