This is a new feature request. If you happen to have some time, we happily accept PRs. Best way would probably be to add a new PickFile method that takes a new PickOptions object that has an Orientation parameter. Or alternatively, on Android, try to get the orientations from the parent Activity and apply those to the FilePickerActivity. Might be easier to implement.

Closing this since this project will retire, please check out Xamarin.Essentials which now has a FilePicker based on this one.
