One UI 6.0 and Android version 14. Whenever I go to upload a photo this weird sub menu pops up instead of taking me directly to my gallery or my files. What is this, and how do I disable it?

Edit: Thanks for all the replies everyone! Appears to be a native android photo picker and it cannot be disabled as far as I've seen and been made aware from this thread.

It's a new bottom sheet photo picker introduced by Google recently. You're probably using the generic file picker before, no way to get rid of it unfortunately.

I think they made it as an excuse to enforce scoped storage, at least for photos.
