When user have selected file from Google drive, we cannot access original file path from that Uri.
Working for Google Photos Uri. Not working when users have selected document/pdf file from Google Drive

Any solution to this? or found any workaround on it?

I couldn't found any.
May be we need to manage by drive sdks.

I restricted user to choose from Drive though.

I found a workaround for when file is not "local" (i.e. when FileUtils.getFile and FileUtils.getPath return null or FileUtils.isLocal is false), which is applicable for file selection from Drive #90, Google Photos #98, etc. The trick is to use a file descriptor instead of direct access, for example using something like this inside the usual onActivityResult():

try {

	final Uri uri = data.getData();
	final FileInputStream fileInputStream;
	final File file = FileUtils.getFile(this, uri);
	
	// Local file
	if (file != null) {
		fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(file);

	// Access to remote file (Google Photos, Drive, ...)
	} else {
		final ParcelFileDescriptor fileDescriptor = getContentResolver().openFileDescriptor(uri, "r");
		if (fileDescriptor != null) {
			fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(fileDescriptor.getFileDescriptor());
		} else {
			throw new IOException("Cannot open file descriptor from URI");
		}
	}

	// The following is just an example to test that the file is in fact readable
	final byte[] buffer = new byte[50];
	fileInputStream.read(buffer);
	fileInputStream.close();
	Toast.makeText(this, "Read: " + new String(buffer), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

} catch (IOException e) {
	Toast.makeText(this, "Error: " + e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
	e.printStackTrace();
}
