REVISION SUMMARY
  The EncFS has security issues when the encrypted files are shared
  in the open. For instance on a usb-pendrive or a shared drive.
  
  Only when the user picks EncFS we then continue to not allow the user to pick his 'device' directory where the encrypted files would go, just store this on the XDG_DATA_DIR which is defined as;
   the base directory relative to which user specific data files should be stored
  
  Users can continue picking their datadir just fine when they pick the CryFS and other future backends.
