Feature description

Steps:

  1. Open Android settings
  2. Open Storage
  3. Click on any of the categories like Apps, Audio, System, …

What happens:
An Android system dialog pops up, asking me to choose which application to use. It suggests "Files" (by Google), HexViewer and OpenDocumentReader

What I would like to happen:
It would be nice if the dialog also suggested Fossify File Manager as option, preferably opening it into the Storage tab, preferably into the same categoy (e.g. Audio as above).

Why do you want this feature?

For convenience: It would be convenient to use Fossify's File manager here.

Additional information

I'm using:

  • Fossify File Manager version 1.0.1 (from F-Droid store)
  • Android 13 (on Fairphone 4, so rather close to stock Android)
