Instead of the currently rather clunky method of downloading from NC to the device, I suggest using the User-initiated data transfer API (UIDT) for a significantly better and more reliable user experience

That is a nice idea, so we can slowly adopt do it.
To keep scope small, I suggest:
(- it only works on Android 14+)

  • only for manual downloads (e.g. clicking on file)
  • no sync, no background task
  • not for resized images/thumbnails
