Description
I'm using Keepass2Android Version: 1.11-r0 on chromebook and android phones.
I used to easily share Keepass databases with my wife and family. Google changed shared files to shortcuts and since then I would just use the original account and work around it with my children. Now that is no longer convenient.
I looked at issue #1955, which described a workable solution by using the System File Picker to select the database file. However, that does not work for me. I tried once, and nothing happens. Subsequent tries give me an ENOENT error.
Is there another solution to use shared Google Drive keepass database files? It's been a few years and keepass2android hasn't included direct support for the forced Google Drive shortcuts.

Research direction
Start by reviewing issue #1955 and reproducing the System File Picker flow described here on Keepass2Android 1.11-r0 with a shared Google Drive database shortcut. Investigate the reported ENOENT failure; done would mean shared Drive shortcut databases can be selected and opened without the current failure.
