Uploading files (Steam Deck)

[Valtharr]

So, yesterday, Discord decided to stop working on my Steam Deck for some reason. Just keeps loading and not doing anything. So, I shopped around for alternative clients, found WebCord, and was happy with it. But then, just now, I tried uploading a file and it didn't work. Drag and Drop brings up an error message, and clicking the "Upload File" button brings up a file explorer that... doesn't actually show me my files? It's a bit hard to explain, but it doesn't show all the folders on my Deck, including my microSD, where I have most of my files. But even when I tried copying the file to a folder the explorer (supposedly) shows me, I couldn't find it.

If you're using Flatpaks or either have MAC configured (like AppArmor) or any kind of restrictive sandboxing then that might be your answer. Otherwise, it could be some bug with Electron or issues with some kind of configuration (portals maybe?). I have some déjà vu when I'm hearing about this issue for some reason, maybe try searching through issues and you'll find something useful.
