Description

Hello developers,

Sometimes you may want to share pictures directly via iMessage or maybe even from other apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Threema etc.!

It would be nice if you could send single or multiple media directly from the Nextcloud without sharing a link.

Especially if you have the Automatic Upload function enabled and you also have the Automatic Delete function enabled, there are no photos/videos in the Photo App from the iPhone/iPad.

If sending pictures directly via Apple's App-Drawer integration with the Nextcloud could be realized, life would become much easier to manage and organize the masses of media.

Best Regards
FreeFun

Research direction

Start with the Apple App-Drawer integration documentation linked in the issue and inspect the iOS app's existing share-extension entry points. Define how single and multiple media are selected and sent directly to iMessage or the named apps, including behavior with automatic upload and deletion; done means sharing works without link sharing.
