Description

When I try to pick file from file explorer in Android 10 & 11 devices, It copies picked file to App specific folder. and returns the path of app specific folder instead of returning the actual file path(for example Downloads). Also the file copied to app folder can not be opened so getting corrupt file error when trying to access that file path in the code.

Steps to Reproduce

 string filepath = string.Empty;
    async Task PickAndShow()
    {
        try
        {
            var result = await FilePicker.PickAsync(PickOptions.Default);
            if (result != null)
            {
                filepath = result.FullPath;
            }
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        { }
    }

the result.FullPath contains path like this /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.companyname.appname/cache/2203693cc04e0be7f4f024d5f9499e13/8bba0b6ad0d24292922d2bf729d82856/ItemMaster_20210408103306.xlsx.

Expected Behavior

It should contain actual path for that file. In this case Downloads folder path.

Actual Behavior

Not getting correct path for android 10 & 11. But working fine on Android 7.1.2
