The bug

When sharing an album to public users for them to upload photos from their android phone, they get a limited app selection which only shows camera and media picker.

The option to directly open Google photos or any other photo/video gallery is not available.

You have the option to upload through media picker but it's a hassle to traverse and find pictures as it's more of a file manager rather than gallery app. There is an option through media picker to open up Google photos but that requires multiple actions from the user.

There should be the option to upload directly from Google photos or other gallery.
