[BUG] Upload via shared link does not work with Android's default file picker

The bug

Uploading photos via a shared link from web (Android + Chrome) does not work with Android's internal file picker, forcing you to switch to an external app (e.g. your gallery of choice).

Having to launch an external app causes confusion with users (some friends of mine eventually just gave up and did not upload at all). Also, my gallery app does not come with a "select all" button and only allows you to manually select 50 photos at a time. It'd be nice to simply include the system's default browser.

Reproduction steps

1. Create a shared link for an album with upload permissions.
2. View the link on mobile (tested: Android 10, Chrome 116.0.5845.114).
3. Click the button to upload new photos.
4. On my phone, Android's default file browser appears but I can't select any photos here (see screenshot; the same behavior also applies for JPEGs).
