Hello Team,

In my project, I need users to select a file from their device storage (such as an image, PDF, or other media) so that the app can process it — for example, converting an image to a PDF or uploading it to a server.

Right now, the Media category in Thunkable/Kodular does not have a File Picker component. This makes it difficult to let users browse their device and choose files.

Without a File Picker, I have to rely on complicated workarounds (like using WebViewer or external extensions), which is not always reliable — especially on mobile devices.

If you could add a native File Picker in the Media components:
