So the issue is somewhat still present with newest snap system. I'm on 20.04 LTS.
The file picker in Chromium opens up in the snap directory but you can easily switch to your home directory. I've uploaded this screenshot using Chromium snap. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1798450 Title: [snap] File dialogs show snap's home directory instead of user's Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: How to reproduce: - Find a web page that has a file chooser (you can just paste `<input type="file">` into an empty HTML page) - Click the "Choose File" button - Click "Home" if you didn't start here - See that Chromium uses `/home/$USER/snap/chromium/500` as the home folder Expected behavior: The file picker should use the user's home folder, not the snap's, because everything else would be confusing for end users.
