Description
Files are shared perfectly to other apps.
But sharing a Folder sends a content uri with the mime type application/octet-stream. This cannot accessed with any use by other apps. It should be an accessible Uri with the mime type for folders e.g vnd.android.document/directory.
This Uri should be accessible by foreign apps to list and (read)access the content of the folder.
Alternatively the app could send a list of uris of the folder content

Research direction
Start by tracing the folder-sharing entry point and reproduce the issue by sharing a folder to another Android app. Check the URI and MIME type received by the target app; done means the shared folder URI can be used by another app to list and read its contents, or the issue’s alternative URI-list behavior is implemented.
