[Feature Request] "Save to" as file download option or option to set default download directory

Open r4dh4l opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

Hi,

I've requested this already in https://forum.seafile.com/t/save-as-to-download-option-in-seafile-android-app/7668 but would like to add it to the issue tracker because I think it is the better place:

When I browse a library via Seafile Android app (F-Droid version 2.2.8 in my case on LineageOS 14) I have the problem that I can not select the directory downloading a file.

Opening the file options of a certain file I get the list:

*Share *Export *Star *Rename *Delete *Dopy *Move *Download

"Download" downloads the file in my case to /storage/emulated/0/Seafile/<acount>/<library>/folder/ so I have to open a file manager to move it to another location for example if I want a media file in a certain media folder.

"Export" lists in my case:

*K-9 Mail *Termux *Conversations *Riot.im

but not "Ghost Commander" for example. I remember that the export option on other apps allows to export to a file manager to have a "save as/to" option.

Is it possible to add a "save as/to" option to Seafile Android?

Yeah, it took me a long to how "download" a file.

Workaround: There is the "save to" app which let you choose a destionation. Choose the app after choosing "Export" in the Seafile app download options. Problem: Sometimes the app does not appear in the list after choosing "Export". In this case you maybe have to start the SaveTo-App one time manually again.
