Make download links available for external clients #703

With the latest release of the appstore integration clients are enhanced with (external) clients that connect with Nextcloud.

For example

  1. https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/nextcloud_deck_android_app
  2. https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/floccus
  3. or perhaps the Outlook Add-in.

What is missing in my opinion is a easy means of linking to the actual client download. In the case for the Nextcloud deck app, a download link to the Google Play store or FDroid store could be listed. In case for Floccus a posibility to link to the Chrome/Edge/Firefox Web Store. In case for the Outlook add-in link to https://download.nextcloud.com/outlook/

Now when you visit these pages you still have to manually find the actual client download itself. For some of these clients the download could be made user friendly. If the download is available through a trusted source. For example Google Play Store, FDroid, Chrome Web Store or the download page from Nextcloud can be considered trusted while obviously you do not want to link to some random Dropbox link.

Do you have links for buttons for all these stores? Firefox/Microsoft/Chrome/GPlay/FDroid/etc?

And one has to be made for a Nextcloud hosted download I guess :)
