Does this work in an an app's file-picker? #97

I am running an ssh server in my crouton chroot on a pixel 2015. I can mount the localhost sftp in the files app and access all files in the chroot which is awesome.

When I open a file dialog from a chromeos app, like using Add folder to workspace in the chrome dev tools inspector, I only see the Downloads folder. There is a button + Add new services in that dialog but this service doesn't show in the list. I assume this is because I already added the service to the files app and it has been removed from the list.

If I leave the app dialog open and do Mount a new SFTP server it doesn't add the service to the dialog.

Is there any way to use this service in an app's file-picker?

Unfortunately, there is no way to show the mounted point on the file picker dialog. This is a limitation of the current Chrome OS.
