<br>
Chromium in (L)ubuntu 19.10 up is a snap, and as such runs in a<br>
containerized like environment with limited access to your native file<br>
system. (it isn't run in classic confinement)<br>
<br>
You didn't specify which directories you were unable to upload from,<br>
but I suspect the confinement rules are why you're having trouble with<br>
uploads. I wrote an answer on askubuntu that I'll refer you to<br>
<br>
<a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/1184357/why-cant-chromium-suddenly-access-any-partition-except-for-home/1184374#1184374" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://askubuntu.com/questions/1184357/why-cant-chromium-suddenly-access-any-partition-except-for-home/1184374#1184374</a><br>
<br>
The `snap connect chromium:removable-media` command in my linked post<br>
will provide access to /mn/t and /media/ directories from within<br>
`chromium` which was how I got around my desire to use my existing NFS<br>
shares with minimal effort.<br>
