iOS - Share to Capacities

When on iOS app, and I want to share something to the app from share screen, capacities will open, but nothing will happen.. It doesn't import the thing I wanted to share. It could be text, an image, a link, etc. doesn't matter. The app just opens, like it wants me to then manually paste it.

Also been having this issue. I initially thought I was doing something wrong but then figured out the functionality just doesn't work. Behaves identically to what Jeremy Chua posted below
iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 18.5
Brave browser (also tried Safari before posting here - same issue), sharing from other apps also doesn't work in the same way

I have this same issue as well. Not sure if it's intended behaviour, but I'm guessing it shouldn't be. Have attached some screenshots if it helps. I tried sharing a YouTube video (In this case - the Capacities mobile app showing the share sheet working) with the Capacities app. Once I click, it just shows the normal quick actions button, and the link/url or content is lost.

Currently iOS sharing doesn't work at all, chrome has no capacities option to share to, other apps like youtube lead to capacities but then only the quick actions dialog is opened. I guess that is not intended.
Overall I also thought before that sharing and saving content to capacities on mobile was a weak point. Instead of opening capacities and clicking through the dialogs in there to add content, I'd love to see a small share popup where one decides on the object type, tags, collection etc. and then it gets added - without ever opening capacities.

Thanks for the feedback. Does the problem always occur or does sharing only fail occasionally? Is there any other recognizable pattern, e.g. does it never work with web links? Any information is helpful, thanks!

Luca Joos For me it never works. From browser I cant choose capacities to share to. From other apps like youtube, photos or any other app I share and only the quick actions menu opens.
Im on 1.49.6

Alexander Sc: All right, very strange. I'll look at it again next week, unfortunately I couldn't reproduce it this morning.

Luca Joos Hmm, any other version infos you need besides capacities? iOS is on 18.5 if that helps. I also tried mail app and instagram and in both sharing only leads to the quick actions popup.

iOS sharing with share sheet doesn't bring in content, only shows the Quick Actions bottom sheet

The inability to bring content into Capacities makes it much less useful on a daily basis.
Examples of what is happening:
- when using the iOS share sheet with website, the Quick Actions bottom sheet opens with options for creating new content.
- when using the iOS share sheet with a PDF, the Quick Actions bottom sheet opens with options for creating new content.
What I expect:
- when using the iOS share sheet with a website, a weblink will be created
- when using the share sheet with a PDF, that PDF will be added to the space and I am able to modify content, etc.

Same issue for me across apps and browsers on iOS. I can’t create web links from share sheet at all.

Laurie Stark yes same here. Not being able to share from an app, especially a web browser is a bit of a downer. I have to copy and paste the url which is the only work around.

Michael von Hohnhorst, sharing on iOS is still broken in the way described above for me.

When using adobe scan or similar app and upload to capacities, you will be greeted with a completely blank white page. It works and is viewable on all other platforms, besides iOS.
