@leocg said in How to turn off that list of files when trying to upload something?:

@andrew31415976 Go to settings page and disable Easy Files, to turn off that almost four years old feature.

There is no such setting.
@sgunhouse gave me the correct setting to fix the problem.

@sgunhouse
Thank you. That worked.

I have no idea why it started happening, I certainly had not changed that setting (or any other Opera setting). But turning it off solved the problem. At least this setting exists, which is more than I could say for the people telling me to turn off something called "Easy files" that doesn't exist in Opera One version: 111.0.5168.61

@sgunhouse
I have never changed any settings and Opera only started doing this in the last few weeks.

I'm not even sure what to call the latest insanity in Opera.

While posting to Facebook, whenever I go to attach a photo to a post Opera doesn't display the available files on my computer, but instead offers just a few of what it considers "Downloaded" files. Then I have to click a button to get Opera to "Show all files"

I'm sure someone somewhere must think this is a great idea, but I hate it. Yes, I know, it's only a couple of extra clicks, but they are completely unnecessary and annoying.
Is there some way to turn this nonsense off?
