Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When opening a file from another Android app I want to be able to immediately upload it to my Nextcloud server, but I can't because Nextcloud isn't registered as a handler for files. For example when downloading a PDF bank statement from my banking app I get an "Open with" menu with no Nextcloud option (see screenshot below).

Describe the solution you'd like

I want the Android Nextcloud app to register itself as a handler for lots of common file types so that I choose it in the "Open with" menu.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I can't think of any alternatives.

Additional context
