Shortcuts: “Get contents of folder” action does not work with cloud drives

I want a shortcut that lets me choose something from a list of sub-folders within a folder I specify.


This works if the target folder is on my iPhone.


When it’s on my iCloud Drive, it just hangs on the first step.


When it’s on a third-party cloud drive such as Dropbox or Microsoft OneDrive, I can’t even select the folder (the “Open” option is greyed out).


Why is something so seemingly simple so difficult to accomplish when it’s a cloud drive?

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 17
