@Hubert @Raymond What versions of Android are you each using?
Android is progressively making it harder to share files in the old fashioned way. Depending where your tw file is located, you may not be able to access subdirectories. For the browser, if your starting directory is the downloads directory, or a sub-directory of the downloads directory, then you should be able to access an image directory below that. Good luck!
