Description

Feature request Add the ability to Share a file in the Xamarin.Essentials.Share

The current version of Share only supports sharing text and URI.
Supporting File sharing would resolve many issues user have with saving files outside of the Local App Data space.

It would be supported by added a new class
ShareFileRequest {
string FilePath;
string ContentType;
string Title;
}

It would be called using Share.RequestAsync(new ShareFileRequest());

An example of how to implement a file share is here (I have not tried this)
