Cloud Sync for Single Files

Reading the info for a cloud sync it says "Select the directories or files to be sent to the cloud for Push syncs", but when I try to enter the path to a single file, I get an error that this is "not a directory". I'm not trying to sync a directory, I just want to push a single file.

Am I doing something wrong, or is there no way to backup single files through cloud sync tasks?

Also, separate but related question, looks like I can't backup anything outside of /mnt through that feature, how would one go about backing up the config db file to Google Drive?

Thanks!

For anyone who might be interested I ended up creating a bunch of cron jobs to regularly cp the files I want to backup in a single 'backup' directory within /mnt, and then I'm pushing that to Google Drive through a regular cloud sync tasks. That way I'm also able to use cloud sync to backup stuff outside of /mnt. I guess it's not the most elegant, but it solves both issues.
