Tips: did you know these?

Circle support for searching or displaying is available on your Nextcloud for Android

Is Circles one of your favourite and mostly used Nextcloud app?

It is already possible to share files to Circles using your mobile. Circles will be displayed among other share-lists and they are also searchable through the search bar!

Use ONLYOFFICE/Collabora/Text when no off-line editor is available

In case you have a downloaded file that you want to edit or just open and there’s no offline editor on your device, ONLYOFFICE, Collabora or Text will be used to open it. If for various reasons the file can’t be handled by these three you will get a “No app to handle the file” warning.
