      When I want to upload a file, I am not able to browse local folders any more. There are only options of local files in date order or cloud storage. This is a recent change and is forcing me to change browser away from Opera. Is there some way of browsing local folders? Screenshot_2025-03-18-13-36-33.jpg

        (It's in German but says "search").
        Go to the app settings through the android interface, hold the app icon and check the app permissions.
        Open the app info and go to storage where you can see the GB value like 2,1GB there can you usually clean the cache. But there is also a button to access the media.

        Optional check the permissions.

          @Martadavies Depends on what app is set in your system for such things. If it is expecting to upload an image it'll usually bring up either Photos or your Camera app (on mine it asks me to choose between those two), but you should be able to set it to a file browser if you have one installed. (You'd need to set it in Android Settings under Apps).

            Opera may update this soon! Try checking settings or reinstalling.
