Upload files from other places than /storage

Hi,
Is it (and how) possible to upload files other than from directories under /storage? I can not navigate to for example /sdcard, from where I would like to upload a file.
Thanks
Daniel

Bump this.

Simply lauching the common Android action for browing media/files would be great, so everyone can choose to open the gallery or some other file-browsing utility

The stock browser offers different options when uploading a file through an upload field to anywhere. Like picking the file from an gallery app, or directly take a new picture from the Camera.

Opera only shows you the plain file system. This is very uncomfortable because for example you have to pick fotos by filename instead of thumbnails.

+1 i've often thought about this.

what I like about the stock Browser, is the ability to call the gallery app, when your uploading a picture.

I do find that the built in file browser, ln opera mobile is restrictive, as there's no thumb nails to pictures. most of my pictures would also have the default file name, that the camera calls the pictures, and remembering which picture is what, is a nightmare.

I know others above me have already said this, but I'm just chiming in, agreement with you all ;-) drunk

Just wanted to add a request for help on this, we need to access on the on-board camera from within Opera Mobile, or at least browse the gallery. Any help or pointers much appreciated!

Bump. Is there a chance the option to upload by the gallery will ever be added? Honestly not being able to see any thumbnails is the only thing I don't like right now...
