Steps to reproduce the bug
- Browser dialogue that allows to upload .gpx, .fit, .tcx or .gz files
- Click "Choose File" -> opens File Manager
- Navigate to the existing .gpx file
- .gpx file is greyed out, the line below states it is a BIN file, file size seems reasonable
Expected behavior
The .gpx file is identified correctly and it is possible to upload it through a dialogue, that limits the upload through the file type.
Actual behavior
The file is greyed out and I'm not able to choose it for upload.
Screenshots/Screen recordings
No response
Additional information
I was able to upload the same gpx file from my laptop, so the file shouldn't be the problem. A .fit file in the same folder is identified correctly and it is possible to upload that file from my phone. The .fit file is recognized as "FITS image", where it states "BIN" for the .gpx file.

Okay, the restriction itself seems a bit weird. While using the duckduckgo browser it is greyed out and recognized as BIN. On the other hand, using chrome as browser, the file still is recognized as BIN, but I'm able to upload the file.
