Suggested change

The default file dialog is unavailable when working on Android devices. This implementation switches to the platform-native picker and brings back this missing functionality to the mobile Godot Editor.

You can now use Android’s native file picker in your games and apps, allowing users to select files in a way they’re already familiar with. This helps create a more seamless and native-feeling experience on Android.

This is not implemented for Android Editor yet!
