What’s new
- Support for subdir mode: clicking on a shortcut doesn't save the shared directly under it, but instead opens up a file picker to chose a directory where to save starting at the shortcut's location.
Quick answer
Share data from other apps to a folder
F-Droid repository metadata
Share-to-folder is a share target that saves items shared with it to a folder.
It is a convenient companion to apps that only allow to share data, but not to save it. It is also useful with apps that have a user interface for sharing that is more convenient than for saving or copying. For instance, in gallery you easily can use share to sort photos with just 2 taps per photo, whereas using copy would be more cumbersome.
* no root is required
* folders to which you have shared documents at least once are remembered as shortcuts
* for security, sharing to a shortcutted folder is still subject to a confirmation dialog, but you can answer allow always if the target folder is not security critical.
* you can browse your list of recently shared folders in the app’s main activity. Red are those that still require a confirmation to share to, and green are those to which you have answered always. You can remove the pre-authorization again in case you clicked always accidentally or made up your mind.

How to install
- Download the APK from the button at the top of this page.
- Allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser or file manager only, not for every app.
- Open the downloaded file and confirm the installation.
- If installation fails with “App not installed,” remove an earlier build of the same app first. A signature conflict is the usual cause.
