I'm afraid I do have to add my voice to this particular complaint as most packages I install with snap seem to have fundamental problems accessing the file system however it's configured with multiple mount points, sim links etc. I've already removed many snap apps and reinstalled with apt which is much more reliable. Not being able to find a file path in Chromium or even be able to type in the path when you want to upload a file is a bit ridiculous to be honest.

After figuring out how to manually reconnect the password manager, and figuring out how to apply CHROMIUM_FLAGS that used to live in /etc/chromium-browser/default, and noticing that GMail is no longer able to play a sound when a call comes in, now I see that I am unable to upload files from anywhere except my home directory! Connecting chromium:removable-media as in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium- browser/+bug/1832711 does not help with anything else. Is there some way to let the file upload dialog work on any file my user account has access to? Or run this snap in --classic mode? If not, this seems like a critical limitation, as I need this multiple times a day. Switching to Chrome or Firefox cannot be the only workaround for this, surely?
