I did find this the other day:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/essentials/share?context=xamarin%2Fandroid&tabs=android#files

But I'm not sure if its this feature

@mattleibow I created a small draft to test this issue The behaviour is very strange. for example, if we set the value for the title or text, the file will not be sent on macOS

Yo, this issue was resolved? Need add Text to ShareFileRequest or make something like ShareFileWithTextRequest.

any chance to add this back in some milestone again?

I think at this point it's safe to say that this won't be making it's way into Xamarin.Essentials anymore. Keep your eye on .NET MAUI for all new development! Thanks for all input and efforts here.
