Description
When working with the favorites import function lately I found that offering a file-picker dialog that points to the cloud storage rather odd.
In other Nextcloud apps (e.g. contacts) any import/export function operates directly with the client, i.e. files are selected from the client's storage, not from the cloud storage. To me this makes more sense - currently getting your just-exported-from-google favorites into Maps means
- upload them to your NC
- then click "import" and select it from there
which is one step too many I would argue.
Similarly the export function in other apps gives me the exported file directly while in Maps just a new file in NC storage is created - not really what I would call "export".
What do others think?
