iOS app should allow File Sharing so that it can save backups

Proposed change

From Safari one can save DIM Sync backups. It is not clearly written but turning off sync triggers that. From which one can, even if somewhat awkwardly, save a JSON to, say, iCloud. from the iOS store app it says that it’s saving it but nothing happens. I believe that that is because the apps are not set up for file sharing.

How does this fit into your workflow?

Backups are a great thing. When your servers went down I could only backup DIM instances on browsers, which had cached versions of my setup that was a few days old. The current versions were in the apps. For now I'll try to remember to open dim in safari once a day, so that it caches my setup.

There should also just be a backup button. Not sure why that isn't showing. Turning off DIM Sync isn't how we intend for you to download a backup.
