Expanduser in save_to_disk()
State: closed | Author: Unknown3141592 (CONTRIBUTOR)

Fixes #5651. The same problem occurs when loading from disk so I fixed it there too.

I am not sure why the case distinction between local and remote filesystems is even necessary for `DatasetDict` when saving to disk. Imo this could be removed (leaving only `fs.makedirs(dataset_dict_path, exist_ok=True)`).

Indeed. But it's better to address this in a separate PR.
