Why Workflowy accessing my camera?

Just got a desktop notification out of the blue that Workflowy wanted access to my desktop camera. Huh? Did not ask for this and did not allow. What's up?

  Hi Lucy,

  Are you on Mac or Windows? We've come out with a files upload feature, which on mobile also allows one to use your camera to take a photo and upload to WorkFlowy. I'm not sure whether this is possibly requesting access to your camera via the desktop app... but do you have a camera icon in the items menu to the left of any bullet? Are you on Mac or Windows? What device are you using?

  So I am another user that is on Windows 10 up to date and I get a message from Norton 360 every time Workflowy starts up that Norton has denied camera access to it.  In the menu I have "upload file" appearing and it takes me to a file select dialog.  On my Pixel 5 I get an camera icon in the menu above the keyboard and it looks like it would work OK.   It opens the camera.after asking permission.

  The Windows notice is just an annoyance.  One more message to acknowledge.

  Hi Dick. We're looking into this. The engineers have been talking about this and are perplexed. Is there any way someone could create a screen recording so we can see what you can see? Thanks!
