Thank for everyone’s reply, this are very good extensions, and I have try some of them. But I hope we can see what file I recently use in the file picker, because some user maybe don’t know what the path of the file that they want to upload.

看看@Taifun的这个：point_down： 教程

使用App Inventor 从SD卡中挑选文件

I also check this way, but it seems it has a bug when I use “recent” to pick file and Taifun’s file extension can’t change result URL into path.
Maybe @Taifun can help to solve this problem?

If I use “recent” to pick, it will return something like content://com.android.providers.downloads.documents/document/9447, and Taifun’s file extension will return empty string.
If I use “file manager”, it will return something like content://com.android.fileexplorer.myprovider/external_files/DCIM/Screenshots/Screenshot_2018-09.png, and Taifun’s file extension can change it into the path like /storage/emulated/0/….

Same problem when choosing recent files… Is there any way to fix that?

[jayguo]

For 2 months, I don’t find any way to solve this problem

[elakhal_inc_50 (Imad Elakhal)]

I found a perfect way by using some external Extension

[jayguo]

yes, you can only use extension now
