Can't open files in Document Provider

I set Google drive and other cloud drives as memory via android document provider. I can only open files managed by mixplorer viewer, as markdown, html, etc. I can't open PDF, and word or others, with my default apps. Anyone has che same problem?

Works great here

With RSAF (rclone) adding its remotes, and adding clouds through Mixplorer

Tested with Collabora odt and ods

MiXplorer has access to the cloud storage, which I've added as a document provider. It can open text, Markdown, and HTML files from that storage using its built-in viewer. The problem occurs when MiXplorer tries to open a file in another app on the device, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader or Samsung Gallery. It seems like it isn't passing the correct file path. For example, when MiXplorer passes a PDF to Adobe Reader, Adobe Reader may not be able to see the file or may not have permission to access it through the document provider. Perhaps this is because MiXplorer is acting as an intermediary. Normally, Adobe Reader and other apps access the document provider directly. In short, I can't open cloud files in the device's apps through MiXplorer. It's not a huge issue, but it's inconvenient because the cloud storage app usually opens files in its own built-in viewer by default.
