Tasker only shows that option if the backup file already exists in the expected location. It has always worked like that. Maybe you would expect to show the file browser if the file was not at the location?

Correct. I had downloaded my backup after wiping my phone and I could not figure out how to restore it or even if there was a local restore option since I am new to Tasker. Fortunately, I stumbled upon the workaround I described in order to see the file browser.

I see. Can you please add this as a feature request instead since this is not exactly a bug? :) Thanks in advance.
