Description
When sharing a file, document, or image from any app, the presence of a "receive intent" in the share menu allows other file managers, such as Simple File Manager, to provide the functionality of saving the file to a location of the user's choice. This feature enhances the user experience by granting more flexibility and control over file management.
Other file managers having this feature -> Simple File Manager, Amaze File Manager, Xiaomi File Manager to list a few.
I love Material Files, its UI and features and have no complaint whatsoever. This is the only feature that I think is missing.
Thanking you in anticipation of a positive reply @zhanghai
