Support picking files and media (photos/videos) on iOS & Android via the new robius-file-picker crate, which offers a single abstraction for doing so on all platforms, not just desktop. See that crate for more info. While that crate does offer more functionality, like the ability to specifically pick only photos or videos (or both), currently Robrix only allows picking a general file and saving a general file. We'll add that, as well as the ability to download a file directly to downloads (instead of picking a file location to export to) in a future version, once we've settled on the best UI for that.
