Expected Behavior

user can choose image/video from Media Picker (com.android.providers.media.module) to other Album outside (Camera, Video, Screenshot, and Download)

Current Behavior

when user trying upload image/video to internet from apps/browsers and open Media Picker (com.android.providers.media.module) that apps is limiting users for choosing image/video files, can't change to other Album outside (Camera, Video, Screenshot, and Download)
this is problem when that image/video source is save in other directory because editing. for example Snapseed save edited images inside /storage/emulated/0/Pictures/Snapseed

and users cant do anything to access other directory/album.

Possible Solution

No response

Steps to Reproduce

open any website for upload image for example x.com reddit.com from browser, user can't choose media ouside (Camera, Video, Screenshot, and Download) album.

Image

this only when apps/website only have media for upload and call/open Media Picker (com.android.providers.media.module), no problem if apps/website have other option for choose file from Camera/Files (com.android.documentsui) like imgur/github
