Plugin

share_plus

Use case

The share_plus plugin already has most of the infrastructure to support saving files to a local storage.
It would be great if ShareParams had an option that would allow to open a platform-specific file/document UI to save file(s).

Proposal

The platform's share dialog on iOS has an option to save files. But on MacOS and Android there is no such option available and we have to resort to using half-broken 3rd party plugins that have issues, e.g. unable to share/save very large files, which the share_plus already worked out.

The proposal is to add an option, perhaps a boolean saveFiles flag to the ShareParams and use that flag on Android and other platform to open the file/document selection UI and save files to the local storage instead of using platform sharing options.

I can try to submit a PR to add support of such option for Android and maybe/hopefully for iOS/macOS.
