 File Chooser

Portal for asking the user for access to files

The FileChooser portal allows sandboxed applications to ask
the user for access to files outside the sandbox. The portal
backend will present the user with a file chooser dialog.

The selected files will be made accessible to the application
(which may involve adding it to the :ref:`Documents
portal<org.freedesktop.portal.Documents>`).

Files added to the :ref:`Documents
portal<org.freedesktop.portal.Documents>` by this portal stay
accessible across sessions.

This documentation describes version 4 of this interface.
