GTK+ is the user interface toolkit that GIMP uses, and it's what
provides the file open/save dialog boxes. Unfortunately, GTK+ 2 (which
GIMP 2.10 uses) is now out of support, so it's unlikely that this
problem will be fixed.

The only way to make the GTK+ file dialogs to show user's local drives
would be to map them as network drives (so they get their own drive
letter); this probably isn't very feasible.
