Telegram works fine on Windows.

I installed Telegram application in Ubuntu.

I can't send a photo or file using Telegram.

How can I solve it?

Your Telegram app probably doesn't have access to your storage. Go to the Telegram settings , then go to the permissions and turn storage access on . And if the options aren't available in telegram, then open Ubuntu Software centre and access the permission list from there. in recent updates this is the procedure to be followed

    Or got Ubuntu Software > Telegram > Permissions, give access to removable media

The telegram-desktop snap needs the removable-media connection. Therefore, you'll need to run (you'll be prompted for Sudo access as well):

snap connect telegram-desktop:removable-media

The command above works in Linux Mint as well.
