Upgrade Storage[Android] feature requests
I just got the Android app and have been playing with it for a short bit. It looks like a great start!
Feature requests:
#1: a share intent. I expected to be able to share from my browser and be able to add to zotero that way, and am very surprised this isn't here. In this flow I'd expect to also be able to pick collection(s) and tags to add the item to. (and ideally that would create a snapshot too)
Other features I couldn't find, albeit less important
#2: how to add tags. I figured out how to filter by tags, but adding tags seems to be entirely missing.
#3: for html pages, opening the page doesn't seem to restore me to my last position in the page - whether the page opens in the browser or as a snapshot. This is fine for shorter pages, but for long pages I probably won't read in one sitting it means I'll have to figure out where I left off

"Not yet implemented:
Saving from the browser
Adding items via identifier or barcode scanning"
So number 1 on your list is planned and will come at some point.
We're going to look into offering a version of the Zotero Connector for some browsers (e.g., Firefox for Android), which would allow saving direct to the server, but we don't yet know how well that will work. (And it won't work in Chrome or other browsers that don't support extensions.)
We also already support adding by identifier, and we'll soon support metadata retrieval for PDFs, so it will be possible to save PDFs and create parent items that way. That's the same as on the desktop — from the item details pane. It's not currently possible to tag multiple items at once in the app. That's a feature of the reader, and the mobile apps don't yet support EPUBs/snapshots in the reader.
