Hi Kyle,

five years ago I did some work on Sharing Text and Files with Qt Apps on 
Android and iOS. There's an example app: 
https://github.com/ekke/ekkesSHAREexample and a 4-part-Blog starting 
with this one: 
https://www.qt.io/blog/2017/12/01/sharing-files-android-ios-qt-app 
<https://www.qt.io/blog/2017/12/01/sharing-files-android-ios-qt-app>

Don't know if all still works with newest Android SDK API Level, but 
perhaps you'll find some worthfully infos

next weeks / months I'll move from Qt 5.15 to Qt 6.5 and port all my 
apps and rework all my old examples and take a look how all of this will 
work best on Qt6 and blog again
