This issue addresses one workflow where sharing from a native (OS) app does not always work

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. WS app open with empty or short queue
  2. Open Google Photos app
  3. Select one or more images in Google Photos app
  4. Share to Wundershine
  5. See failure

Expected behavior Export / share receive to WS queue

Browser (please complete the following information):

Additional context I have tested this extensively. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. Success seems to be related to whether a WS queue refresh is triggered. With a longer queue for example, the (open) app is "forced" to refresh the queue so the problem does not arise. Same when the WS app needs to open.

The failure does not happen consistently. The variant with lowest success rate seems to be empty queue and sharing one picture in Google photos.
