Hi,

Often apps offer you a way to "share" some content. While doing so you have a native Android menu that propose you few compatible apps to "share" it.. great... But I don't want to share it I want to save it locally (on the device) Any ideas how to do just that ?

Awesome files app - Material Files provides a save as share option. GitHub, F-Droid

Also there's are multiple dedicated save as apps (not in a specific order):

There is an open source app called "Save locally". You find it at https://github.com/MateusRodCosta/Share2Storage and on f-droid.

Mixplorer also adds the option in the share menu to save the file.

If you have a file manager app installed you should get that as an option for most content (I use Amaze).

I've used Send To SD Card for years and years.

Though lately I've been relying on MixPlorer.
