Share files intent to upload local files from any app

Open djechelon opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

I am asking the exact opposite of #4

From other applications, I would like to be able to upload a file to SFTP storage. This is especially useful if the file is not (easily) found on local storage, e.g. a PDF attached to an email

Examples:

  • Photos from Camera/Pictures app (which can be selected from DCIM folder today)
  • Documents attached to emails. Today I would have to save them to local storage, then update. And remember to clean the old file

This is implemented with the android.intent.action.SEND intent.

Ideally, this would open a "Select folder" wizard where user can select the SFTP connection and the the fodler within the server, then clicking a confirm button to start the upload.

I don't work with Android apps since quite long time, but I am knowledgeable and I could try to provide consulting and/or some coding to the author about this feature.
