How save a file locally when choosing `share` on Android ?

Hi,

Often apps offer you a way to “share” some content. While doing so you have a native Android menu that propose you few compatible apps to “share” it… great… But I don’t want to share it I want to save it locally (on the device) Any ideas how to do just that ?

There is an open source app called “Save locally”. You find it at github.com/MateusRodCosta/Share2Storage and on f-droid.

Subtex ,

If you have a file manager app installed you should get that as an option for most content (I use Amaze).

Awesome files app - Material Files provides a save as share option. GitHub, F-Droid

Also there’s are multiple dedicated save as apps (not in a specific order):

Mixplorer also adds the option in the share menu to save the file.

I’ve used Send To SD Card for years and years.

Though lately I’ve been relying on MixPlorer.
