What Linux are you using, and what version of LibreOffice are you using?

I use Ubuntu Mate 18.04 and LO 6.2.4.2.

I plugged in a thumb drive and a 2T USB drive.  As long as they are 
mounted, I have no problems Saving files to it. I do not have to go up 
through to "root" to get to the file system / media / user / device 
folder / data file - the hard way. The dialog to save the file looks a 
lot like the Caja file manager dialog for saving.

Since we cannot include graphics here, I placed a JPG file on one of my 
domains that shows you what mine looks like.

There use to be an option in earlier versions of LO [I think] that asks 
if you wanted to use LO's file manager for load/save or the system's 
file manager.  I do not see dialog in this version.
