It is what e.g. Simple Gallery does. It works well. Nice API.

FYI: The Simple Mobile Tools suite was acquired by an ad network and is pretty much discontinued, see

Use the Fossify fork instead:

It seems I escaped, by paying the original developer €1 a long time ago. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobi...

What are you referring to? Looking at that link, I see little overlap with what Nextcloud offers. There's a lot more in it than just a pretty gallery.

The overlap is precisely that part which matters: The directory access portions. Both need to ask the user to choose which directories to access, and access all the files in those directories.

What they do after opening the files is very different, and irrelevant. FWIW I use both Nextcloud and that gallery app.
