So I have a text file* on my phone (android) that I wanted to share on Discord (the file is way over the character limit, so sending it as a message doesn’t work.) How would you do it ? It really shouldn’t be that hard…
*more info : this is a replay file from a game, so I can access it from the game and copy it to clipboard. Then I can paste it to the notepad app to save it, but I’m not sure that means it’s stored as a text file on my phone (notably, I’ve not been able to find it from anywhere other than my notepad app).
The workaround I found is pasting it into Google Docs and then access it via Google Drive on my computer, but it isn’t ideal (and notably requires me to have access to my computer).
(also obligatory rant about how it wouldn’t be that hard if phones didn’t obfuscate the file system so much)
All android phones come with a file manager, no? Even if it somehow didn’t, you can certainly install one, and I would be surprised if it didn’t have the option to share the file regardless of file type.
Anything from F-Droid will certainly have this or you can try Fossify File Manager on the Play store.
edit: Ah I see you can’t find the text file. The editor probably has a “Save as” button to save it to accessible storage,or get a better text editor (Material Files on F-Droid has one built in).
