Description Nicolas Christener 2019-03-18 13:52:39 UTC
Description:
Most iOS apps offer a "share button" to send a file to external tools/services. This is missing in the current iOS version and would be needed for some tools such as printing to specific services/printers, sharing through chat or mail, etc.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a document in the iOS app
2. Try to share the document with other tools/services

Actual Results:
It's not possible to share a document from within the iOS app.

Expected Results:
The iOS app should offer sharing capability.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
I'm not sure what the best format for sharing would be - most probably PDF as other tools could then at least do something useful with it.

Maybe a hyprid PDF (PDF with embedded ODF file) would be the best solution?

Sounds fair, though I can't assess what the best form of sharing would be. I can imagine sometimes sharing the original document would be preferred, but if it's not possible to have both that and the PDF as separate options, then indeed PDF is more portable. Or perhaps first choose the format in the application, and the sharing just shares the chosen format?

There *is* a share functionality in the app: When in the document browser (right after starting the app, or after closing a document), click the "Select" in the top right, click one or several documents, click "Share" in the bottom left. (This is automatically provided by the document browsing functionality API the system provides that the app uses, not something we would have implemented.)

Thanks Tor for the hint.

I still believe that sharing the document while having it open would make sense as it would not break the workflow.
