Description
I looked at the webUSB support article and it indicates that it works on android.
I created a program and saved it.
I cleared the editor then loaded it.
When i click load button then click 'pick a file' link
I get the android window 'chrome needs access to camera and record video'
It then pops up 'chrome needs to record audio'
I click allow on both pop ups and it then offers 4 icons.
Camera, camcorder, audio and files.
Chrome already had access to storage.
How do i find my android version if you need it?
EDIT---
you go to settings/phone / software
My android version is 8.1.0
Samsung experience version 9.5
---END
Chrome is version 75.0.3770.101
Is there something missing on that pick a file link that would indicate to chrome that it only needs access to storage

Research direction
Start with the load flow and its “pick a file” link, then reproduce the report on Android 8.1.0 with Chrome 75. Check how that file-selection entry point requests access and confirm that loading a saved program completes without unnecessary camera or audio prompts.
