This feature is important to have, while trying to select a specific file or media file trough import there's no feature to select it from gallery app to find it easier. Hope this feature gets implemented soon...

Currently, DroidFS lets the user choose files with the ACTION_GET_CONTENT intent action. This could easily be replaced by ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT, which lets the user use the gallery, the system media picker or other apps to select files, but this would prevent DroidFS from gaining write access to the files and therefore from wiping of the original files after import.
An alternative would be to add an additional option in the DroidFS import menu to directly launch the media picker, but I think doing so in addition to the two existing buttons for files and directory will make the UI even more confusing.
Otherwise, you could just share the pictures you want from the gallery to DroidFS and import them this way.

Please add this option. At least in least visible settings area. It's hard everything picking a specific file without gallery apps
