Description Gaël de Chalendar (aka Kleag) 2017-08-30 10:25:08 UTC 
With Falkon 2.1.99 Snap 19, I cannot access the host filesystem. I'm stuck in the container one.

This occurs when trying to open a file for upload, when trying to import Firefox bookmarks, or when trying Save as… actions.

Such is life in a confinement system without systems to provide host access https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/xdg-desktop-portal-proof-of-concept-demo/1027

You'll have to do read/save through the snap home and then through dolphin copy bits out of the snap home.
Comment 2 Gaël de Chalendar (aka Kleag) 2017-08-30 11:50:33 UTC 
OK. Noted the upstream reason. 

This would have to be solved before finalizing the goal "we at KDE neon are moving to new packaging format Snaps" stated at https://blog.neon.kde.org/index.php/2017/08/29/great-web-browsing-coming-back-to-kde-with-falkon-new-packaging-formats-coming-to-kde-with-snap/
