Research direction
The issue is in the file picker integration for the Snap package on Linux. Start by looking at the upload dialog code, likely in a frontend component handling file selection. Check how the file picker communicates the selected path back to the application, and see if Snap's sandboxing is blocking the path. Run the Snap build locally to reproduce, and inspect the console for errors when selecting a file.
