LO doesn't have its own file manager, it just calls the system one. What is your default file manager, and what drives does it show when you launch it that are missing when LO launches it?

OK. Now give us an image of what you see when you use LO to open a file so we can see what's missing, right?

Looks like you still have LibreOffice dialogs enabled
Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice -> General -> "Use LibreOffice dialogs" should be unchecked
or
Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice -> Advanced -> click on "Open Expert Configuration", search for "UseSystemFileDialog" and set it to "true"
