I've started exploring the WebShare API Link. I found that Chromium has a limitation to what file types can be shared. I need to be able to share different file types like .xlsx and .docx for example. I'm unable to find any information on what types iOS supports.

My thought is that I let iOS users use the share feature if there is support for my needs and chromium based browsersm I will find some work around for.

Question is. Does anyone have knowledge about the file types available for sharing in iOS?
