Dear Sirs,

What about to provide us the ability to access the Camera (gallery) folder depending on the device with correct and required permissions.

Best,

Ahmad

Hm, i dont think we have support for that, but you might be lucky if you check out [the community packages page](https://www.fusetools.com/docs/packages)

For example [this](https://github.com/bolav/fuse-gallery) _might_ do the job

I have checked them before, so we just need a method returns the path for gallery folder and we can deal with it using FileSystem module.

If so, then you might have to resort to creating your own package for it. You might get away with barely any native code except actually getting the paths from the OS. There are some good docs on doinig this:

- [Native JS modules](https://www.fusetools.com/docs/native-interop/native-js-modules) (needed to interface with JS
- [Foreign code](https://www.fusetools.com/docs/native-interop/foreign-code) for interfacing foreign code from uno.
