Hey folks,  
I can upload a video through the file picker components. I can then display it with the video component and feeding the drive URL. Works great.

I would like to be able to share that file through another app (Whatsapp, IG, messenger, etc).

Few things I tried:

- button with sharing action: can only share the URL
- button with open link action: opens the video in “page” (also, kinda crash too)
- button with open in webview: opens the video in a webview and I can still only share the link

Is there a trick I haven’t find yet ?

Thanks!
