Feature request: add Fastmail as an option in the Android 'share' menu

sebwills · 2 Jan 2016, 06:01 PM

When I click the share icon when viewing a photo (say) on my Android device, I get a variety of built-in and third-party handlers such as Email (which brings up the stock email app which I don't use), Facebook, Add to Dropbox, etc.

I would be really nice if there was a Fastmail option which would start a new email in the Fastmail app with the selected file(s) attached.

It already works for text sharing (eg a web page), but not for other media types. It is on the list, no ETA yet.

OK, thanks. I guessed it would be on your list already!

And for iPhone as well please

Being able to "share" a file to email is the only reason my iPhone still has my email account configured for the stock email app. I'd love to remove that since it doesn't handle multiple personalities and signatures elegantly like Fastmail does

Yes +1 for this feature. I recently switched to Android and started noticing it more, since everything else I use already has this feature, which is missing from the Android version.

BTW, what a relief that FM has apps on both platforms. I know they're not native apps, but they do work well on both platforms -- a testament to the great web backend.

But I would love better integration...

This feature is really needed for comfortable phone usage with fastmail.
