Description
Describe the bug
Hi, i recently am in the process of switching from material files to amaze since it seems marerial files isn't really actively maintained anymore.
I need a filebrowser that can acces my smb server, hence trying amaze.
However, once i try to open any picture or video, it can't by showed by eitther Grapheneos gallery (aosp gallery), fossify gallery, vlc, etc...
Contrary to material files, where this does actually work. Is this is bug or a feature not yet implemented?
Also, not specifically related to this issue, but for the user there is no indication with a notification of file transfer progress when copying files from phone to smb server or vice versa (despite notification permissions allowed). Also te see if a fille is actually trasfered a manual refresh is needed in the related folder. These are all option available on material files and i'm curious if this is a bug of some sort, perhaps related to stricter permissions on Grapheneos, or if these features aren't implemented (yet)?
Thanks

Research direction
Start by reproducing the SMB media-opening steps on the reported Pixel 9 Pro and GrapheneOS setup, then trace the SMB file-opening flow used when an external gallery or VLC is selected. Done means pictures and videos from the share open in compatible apps; the transfer notifications and refresh behavior should be treated as separate concerns.
