Is or will be ability to send file directly from File Browser (pulley menu)?


Edit:

Sailfish OS 2.0.4.14 (Fiskarsinjoki) now supports the integrated file transfer via Settings > Storage > 'select your storage' > File manager (from pulley menu) > long press your selected file and use the 'share' option > Use desired sharing option.

Also have a look at the main question: Bluetooth file transfer for all file types

File Browser is a third-party app, so I think it's up to the developer to implement sharing?

@ssahla How does 3d-party devs enable system integrated sharing of content and use those APIs from their apps? Does Harbour policies and Jolla Store enable or accept such apps?

@jjaone, now that you ask, probably not. :) But also, Jolla can't add file sharing to File Browser's pulley menu. So Jolla should make it possible and the developer should implement it.

Or Jolla should add own File Browser/Manager with these features into the OS, because IMHO this app should be one of core apps that comes with OS in basic (out of box).

Only some suffixes can be transfered over bluetooth, which is kinda "stupid" :) Although, I couldn't find any native file browser for Sailfish with option to "send file". Anybody else?

The opposite way, in my case from N9 (flac file) to Jolla, one can use the old rename-suffix trick:

Open terminal and: rename:mv your-file.suffix your-file.zip or copy: cp your-file.suffix your-file.zip (tar, mp3 also works), file will be transfered.

It's retarded that you can't transfer whatever file type you choose. Please upvote those threads that have raised that issue.
