About Share to folder

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.

What's new in 0.1.11

- In administrative view, sort share targets by Url - Allow to delete share targets (remove Pre-auth and subdir mode first if needed)
