    hi,
    just in case someone is looking for how to pick a file from a button,
    here is a script that i found working
    take it FWIW

    Code (CSharp):
    1. using System.Collections;
    2. using System.Collections.Generic;
    3. using UnityEngine;
    4. using UnityEngine.UI;
    5. using System.IO;
    6. using UnityEditor;
    7.  
    8. public class PickFile : MonoBehaviour
    9. {
    10.     public string FileName = "";
    11.  
    12.     // for use on a UI button
    13.     public void OpenFile()
    14.     {
    15.         FileName = EditorUtility.OpenFilePanel(FileName, "", "Image files,tif,png,raw");
    16.         print(FileName);
    17. }
    18.  
    19.  
    20. }

    didn't try it . i have a code that takes OS in account (win/mac).. but didn't build it.
    if you have any workaround i'd take it.
