Description
**Describe the bug**
We use Android for Enterprise / Work on our mobile phones. When you are within Android Enterprise / Work Profile you can not use the share function to send images to other contacts with Element. Only a workaround within Element is working (Message + Camera / Gallery -> Select Image -> Post). When we use this share function to send this image by mail e.g. GMail we get a new message with attachment of image. After sending this mail we receive a mail with working attachment.
I´m not deeply familiar with permissions and options within Android for Enterprise / Work but i think when it is possible to share with GMail and other apps there is a way to get access to these files.
**To Reproduce**
- Use screenshot function on mobile phone or select an existing image in gallery within your Andorid Enterprise / Work Profile
- Then select share with icon or button and select Element
- After that select a contact you want to share this image
- You get a preview your image and click on check mark to send
- We can see in chat history an empty space without image with an error on the side.
- When we click on this error we get a message like image not found / cannot be sent
- Expected receiver get no information about this.
**Expected behavior**
Using share function within Android for Enterprise / Work to have a better user experience and faster solution. This way also knwon to share screenshots with other apps and specially made for this.
