Not natively supported supported, but you can “send” your file(s) to a native file managed on the device.

Hello! Thank you all for question and answer :slight_smile:

I do not know why, but in my samsung s8 there is no any file manager.

For example, if i use Dropbox i have option Export -> Save to device.

In google i have option " Download" . After using this option i can find file in Download folder.

I have many files which i can’t open and edit from nextcloud. Possibility to export file to any folder on android can help me. But it is also not possible :frowning:

So, it is something like feature request :slight_smile:
Good luck and thank you for great app!

  1. Long-tap file
  2. Tap tripledot menu
  3. “Send”
  4. Select your file manager
  5. Choose a local location to save

Downloaded.

Of course you can just hit “Download” on step 3 and find it in the Nextcloud folder on storage - /sdcard/android/media/com.nextcloud.client (seen in Settings)
