Does this file exist in your device? And you want to upload the file from the MAUI app to the Web API, right? As noted in the Q&A FAQ: How to write a quality question

2022-08-01T11:12:13.903+00:00 Hi. The text file (.txt) is on the mobile device (internal storage). I would like to share this file to the MAUI app. The idea is that the person selects the file and click on share from either IOS or Android and among the share options I can see the MAUI app icon that I built and should be able to pass the content of the file to the app where I can read it.

2022-08-02T06:47:35.077+00:00 I got it. You want to share a text file to your MAUI app and read the content. But I still have some confusion. You said the text file is
internal storage, internal storage is a portion of the file system that can be accessed only by the application or the operating system. So this file is in other app, and you want to share the file to your app? -

2022-08-04T06:34:42.093+00:00 If so, we have to implement this feature separately on each platform. "All platforms" means iOS, Android, Windows and MacCatalyst, right?
