Receive a file Shared from other app

[javiergonzper]

As a user, I want the possibility to send a file from an app to ownCloud iOS app to be uploaded to my ownCloud Sever.

Technical info:

We need to implemente the Share extension technical info at the Apple Documentation

AC:

• [ ] Show the ownCloud app on the list of files to share a supported file
• The supported files should be:
  • [ ] Documents (pdf, doc, txt, ppt...)
  • [ ] Images
  • [ ] Videos
• To prevent delays and other issues the limits on the share should be:
  • [ ] Documents: 3
  • [ ] Images: 20
  • [ ] Videos: 3
• [ ] If the passcode is active ask it
• [ ] If the biometrical unlock is active ask it
• [ ] If it is not possible lock the rotation, the passcode should be support landscape and portrait
• [ ] Give to the user the possibility to navigate in order to select the folder where upload the files
• [ ] Give to the user the possibility to create a new folder where upload the files
• [ ] QA

Open to discussion:

The UI depends of this because we have here 2 options:

• Upload the file from the "Share" UI. We have to design an upload view to see the progress and cancel the upload
• Send the file to ownCloud in order to be uploaded later. This is the option implemented on the old iOS app.

@javiergonzper In the old app, it's pretty confusing. In some apps, I have 2 different options:

Voice Memos	Photos	*.PDF in Safari

@michaelstingl are different things to do more or less the same.

• Share extension is the one that appear just like "ownCloud"
• Open In ownCloud it is the one that appear like "Copy to ownCloud"

The "Open in ownCloud" is the old way to upload files to ownCloud from other app. Was implemented before the "Extensions" exist on iOS. If I remember correctly it was on iOS6 and extensions appear on iOS7.

It could be deleted from the old app because we do not support iOS6 and older anymore.

@javiergonzper I see “Share to Files”. This should work for the beginning. Wait for user feedback and use cases if this is really needed?

[javiergonzper]

@michaelstingl from the beginning we just have to implement the "Share Extension"

I added more information on the issue in order to know what exactly we need 👍

[michaelstingl]

My idea was to not implement the "Share Extension". People can use the “Share to Files” feature everywhere in iOS11+.
