The bug

So, currently if I have a photo/video on my phone that's not in my 'Backup Albums', I have to send it to my desktop computer, and then use the 'upload' link in the desktop web portal.

You would think you could either:

  1. have an upload option in the android app (is there one I can't find?)

  2. Be able to 'Share' the photo/video to Immich app. I've tried this many times, but immich does not appear in the list of apps to share.

Thank you for your help.
