File uploader for Android

[maximmax42]

This isn't exactly a Zipline question, but still.
Are there any Android apps that allow to upload files to custom uploaders like Zipline? Preferably from the share menu.

Yes: https://github.com/tsudoko/xshare

This is what I use, it allows you to select a sharex config and use that in the share menu (just select x share from the menu )

If you are on iOS there is a way to do it with shortcuts, but I'm unsure as I don't have an iPhone.

EDIT (11/26/23): https://zipline.diced.sh/docs/guides/uploaders/ios-shortcuts - we added a guide for ios shortcuts a while ago ^

Nice, thanks!

Nice.

Want to add something. If the auto copy URL to clipboard does not work (not URL), then you should edit the ShareX config (.sxcu). Change the default "URL": "{json:files[0]}", to "URL": "$json:files[0]$",. Hopefully it works.

Like this

I made a comment but deleted it.

If anyone else is having the copied URL be something that isn't the URL, edit the .sxcu that you're given from the site and change the URL to "URL": "$json:files[0]$"

Then it'll actually copy the link :)

[iiTranquility]

Where are you stuck? Can you edit the config with a code editor?

[febryanvaldo]

Seems working now hahaha.

[febryanvaldo]

Very strange i can use both;

"URL": "$json:files[0]$", or "URL": "{json:files[0]}", with no problem at all.

[iiTranquility]

It must be a case-by-case basis for each brand, then.
I'm not sure.

The first worked for me and copied the link, the 2nd didn't.

[febryanvaldo]

Looks like your version worked best!

Is there a way to make this work for shortening URLs as well? File upload works fine. xShare on Android gives me an error when I try to share a URL from the browser, even though I imported the URL.sxcu.

[diced]

i would just go to the website and shorten them like usual. afaik xshare does not let you use url uploaders.

FYI: I am working on a modern native Android client for Zipline v4 to Upload, Download, and Mange Files and Short URLs.
