Insert Image has changed where it opens

[bblack4jc]

Hello. All of a sudden Libre Office Writer changed where and how it looks for images (I will attach a picture for more clarity). I am trying to insert an image from my external hard drive. It is the same problem if I try to insert from another place.

• When I go to find a picture it only opens a specific folder.
• When I click on the arrow down to look for other folders and drives, it doesn’t show any.
• When I clicked on Server, it says Google Drive. I don’t even use Google drive.

I don’t know what has changed. I am not sure if it automatically updates.
I am using a Windows 10 Home Laptop.
The version of LO Writer is 7.5.2.2

Hi. You have two questions
How to use the LibreOffice dialogue boxes

• Click the Preview box at the bottom left of the dialogue to see the images
• To see all drives, click the icon at the top next to the Servers button and select Workplace
  Once you have selected a folder, other folders on the path between that folder and the drive are shown
  • You can add frequently used folders to the Places pane by opening the folder and then clicking the + at the bottom of the pane
• The button for Servers is to connect to remote servers. Ignore it if you don’t recognise the options listed. Connecting to Google drive is an exercise in frustration as the security options for Google keep changing. The connection to Google Drive no longer works but there might be workarounds or something in Extensions

To revert to Windows dialogue box

• Click Tools > Options > LibreOffice > General and untick Use LibreOffice dialogue boxes

Thank you so much! The last option worked!
