    Hello,
    for my intership project i need to load a photo as a texture on a cube.
    The idea is that people can upload their own photos as background via USB.
    So a local file browser is exactly what i need.
    I managed to get a file browser working but it's only avaiable in the Unity editor.

    I was wondering if there was an easy way in runtime too?

    Thanks in advance,

    Timo

    A lot of stuff there.

    I've used 'UniFileBrowser' in the past and it works well

    Its pretty straightforward to build your own using the UI system if you are interested. However this is such a generic feature that I'd suggest going to the asset store first.

    I bought the Native File Browser from the Unity Asset store, works like a charm, thanks!
