Native File Browser (With Filter)

Hello everyone,

Is there any way to use platform native file browser with filter option within unity? I've found many custom scripts in the asset store but I want something more simple to work on PC,Android and iOS..

Thank You,

 

Hey there,

I have a solution on the Asset Store, but it's only available for Windows and Mac.
It uses the Native File Browser from Windows and Mac though, which is kind of awesome

On windows, the fastest way is the assetstore.... or look for System.Windows.Forms in the C#-reference.

File browsing on Android is quite hacky - running the native file browser should be done using an Intent. (Google "Intent", "Android" and "Unity"; I never used these in Unity, but I'm sure it shouldn't be too complicated; perhaps there is an asset in the asset store as well for doing Intents).

However, on mobile devices, it's not recommended to let the user pick a file; usually it works the other way round: The file is given to the app and the app starts using it. Picking is not inteded and ugly to implement due to the restricted user rights.

Worse on iOS: There is no file system you can access, so there's no native file browser you could launch.
