Description
I needed to get a sensitive PDF from my phone to my desktop. I tried to send it to myself in chat and it seems I can only send photos and video. I then tried to upload it to my private kbfs and that too only allows photos and video.
Let users send arbitrary files in chat/kbfs.

Research direction
Start by tracing the Android file-sharing and upload flows for chat and private KBFS, focusing on where uploads are limited to photos and video. Done means arbitrary files, including PDFs, can be sent in chat and uploaded to private KBFS without breaking the existing media flows.
