Expo Document Picker

Expo Document Picker provides a standardized interface for selecting files from local storage and cloud providers like iCloud or Google Drive.

The library provides a unified API to access the native system UI for file selection across iOS, Android, and the web. Developers call getDocumentAsync to trigger the picker and receive a result object containing the URI, name, size, and MIME type. It supports specific file filtering via the type property (like application/pdf or video/*) and handles multi-file selection with a simple boolean flag. The module manages platform-specific complexities (such as Android Scoped Storage and iOS security-scoped bookmarks) to ensure reliable file access with minimal configuration.
