e.g. I can in gallery select picture(s) and press the share icon, and the Android will offer me serveral apps (like shareviahttp, k-9, etc.) to send those files to.

this Sharing app is not present in that list (instead I must always start app manually and find files/pictures I want to share in there, which is often inconvenient).

You can in latest version via an FastShareActivity it will work the same as shareviahttp it will start downloading automatically when you enter the URL

you can also use fast share mode from the MainActivity as follows

The reason I made a different activity for it is that the main way you share files requires getting the file path but on the other hand android share intent gives you a Uri (which I faced problems trying to make it compatible with app) that's why I made a whole new activity for it. I know it's not consistent with the app design but I had to finish fast before start studying for high school.

note: It's not reliable to get file paths from Uri some people face crashing issues
