Description

Even with the upcoming Media Picker Consolidation project we should still include a button to browse the files on the device.

We can place it in the right-hand position on the top appbar of the picker using the gridicons-image.svg icon for this since this matches with what can be found currently for selecting an image from the device.

Research direction
