I’ve been trying to output data from an app database to a local file on the phone. The “Share Message” block allows the user to export text to the iOS share menu, which lets them export it to a multitude of apps (Notes, Google Drive, Notion, Mail, Messages, AirDrop etc…)  
Unfortunately it cannot output in tabulated form, it has to be plain text.

Hi @joemoukarzel88skm4pi, sorry we did not get back to you earlier. The share blocks are only intended to share out text.
