Description
(Related to the new scoped storage model on Android)
Apps which have a photo picker use something called a cloud media provider. I would like to be able to select photos from OwnCloud but it does not appear - only Google Photos and "None" are possible sources.
Currently I have to use another file explorer app to "save as" my OwnCloud files into the Downloads folder. That way they are exposed to the photo picker.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reading Android's CloudMediaProvider and scoped-storage documentation, then inspect the app's photo-picker integration. Done means OwnCloud is available as a selectable source in the Android photo picker instead of requiring files to be copied to Downloads.
