Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It would be a useful enhancement if other apps could push files to the ownCloud app without the user having to actively intervene. This could be an app that uses ownCloud as a storage backend for backing up user settings, or an app that uses ownCloud as a work directory.
Additional context
In this screencast you can see that I am capable of accessing onwCloud normally when using the Android files app. However when I want to set a target directory for OandBackupX you can see it is not visible as possible provider.
