Title:
  [snap] chromium-browser snap cannot upload files outside ~

Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in chromium-browser source package in Bionic:
  Confirmed
Status in chromium-browser source package in Focal:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After upgrading from 19.04 to 19.10, my Chromium package was converted
  to a snap. After figuring out how to manually reconnect the password
  manager, and figuring out how to apply CHROMIUM_FLAGS that used to
  live in /etc/chromium-browser/default, and noticing that GMail is no
  longer able to play a sound when a call comes in, now I see that I am
  unable to upload files from anywhere except my home directory!
  Connecting chromium:removable-media as in
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-
  browser/+bug/1832711 does not help with anything else. Is there some
  way to let the file upload dialog work on any file my user account has
  access to? Or run this snap in --classic mode? If not, this seems like
  a critical limitation, as I need this multiple times a day. Switching
  to Chrome or Firefox cannot be the only workaround for this, surely?
