It seems that filepicker.io has gone defunct, and is no longer a viable option for an in-app file-selection API. @Airtable, please update your file-selection to use a more updated API, device native API’s, or else a custom solution that meets users needs on Android and iOS (and the upcoming iPadOS).
It’s now basically impossible to upload a PDF (as a PDF) to a record’s Attachment field in Airtable on an iOS device, which is pretty frustrating.

I noticed this recently too, @zola_mzimba – I cannot access Google Drive anymore.
The thing is, it’s not actually Airtable’s problem, nor can they directly fix any issues in that interface, because that interface is actually another app called Filepicker. Airtable is only using their API inside their iOS app, presumably so that they don’t have to write their own file-selection functionality.

iCloud File Picker Product Suggestions
This is a #feature-requests specific to #ios -
@Airtable_Team
I’d like to see iCloud, ie, the native iOS Files app, as an option in the File Picker menu for Attachment fields.

Thank you for considering!
