Summary

Installed web applications can be listed in the Chrome OS share sheet to receive shared files, links etc. Using the manifest, the web application can declare which MIME types and/or file extensions it accepts.


Web Share (with file sharing) and Web Share Target Level 2 are already shipped on Android. We are preparing to ship Web Share (with file sharing) on Chrome OS and Windows in 89. This Intent adds Web Share Target Level 2 for Chrome OS.

LGTM1, since this is just exposing an API to one more platform (was Android, now Android & ChromeOS).

Please send the webkit-dev email and post the link here for posterity. Thanks!

LGTM1

Extending support for this feature to include ChromeOS makes sense.
