### Steps to reproduce

In the past when I wanted to upload files to a location/folder in the nextcloud app there was a small preliminary menu where we could choose the behavior. One of them was "delete from device" which would delete the file from my Android device after they were successfully uploaded to Nextcloud.

This feature has disappeared since a couple months which was frustrating because I used it 2-3 times a week.
Most of the time once I upload something to Nextcloud I don't want to keep a local copy.

I think it might be because nextcloud switched to the system file picker whereas it used its own menu before. Selecting files also has become more cumbersome since the system file picker is trash.

### Expected behaviour

I should be able to define the behavior before selecting files that will delete files after the upload.

### Actual behaviour

It goes straight to the system file picker. After selecting a few files and doing the upload I noticed that the files are correctly uploaded but a copy is still on my device. I then have to manually go delete them which with hundred of files is quite complicated and I often don't remember all the files I uploaded.
