Only image files allowed when using html5 file input #35

Under Android 5.1.1, the html5 file input only allows image files to be selected with the native file picker. It works fine on a webpage using Chrome Mobile (I can pick any type of file), but when I use the same code inside my app I can only pick images.

Can you advise?

There seem to exist simple solutions for this. See

IMO, ideally this would be an option on the config page, to let user specify an allowed list of filetypes and/or MIME types that can be uploaded using html file input. This would be extremely helpful for me.
