The share feature allows sharing a text along with the file, for example:

var fileName = Path.Combine(FileSystem.CacheDirectory, "Photo.jpeg");
var title = "Title of the photo";
await Share.RequestAsync(new ShareFileRequest
{
    Title = title,
    File = new ShareFile(fileName)
});

Thanks for your quick response. But using this sharing a text along with the file , I am able to share only file. My UI is something like social media post (where user posts image/audio/video along with text). So my requirement is to share both the media file and text when user click on share button

Thanks for your quick response. Using sharing a text along with the file, I am able to share only file. My app UI is something like social media post, where user posts image/audio/video file along with text/caption. So my requirement is that on click of share it should share both media file and text/caption

You are able to share text as well along with the file. Did you try the piece of code that I shared?
