Great question! I’ve tackled similar requirements before, so let’s walk through the most practical options that fit your needs—specifically, showing only installed cloud services that support file uploads/writes, without opening all sharing apps.

Option 1: Use System Native File Save UI (Recommended) #

The easiest way to achieve this without reinventing the wheel is to leverage the system’s built-in file picker in "create" mode. This UI automatically filters and displays only installed cloud services that allow writing files (like Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud Drive), which is exactly what you’re looking for.

The go-to library for this is react-native-document-picker. It wraps the native document picker APIs and supports the "create" mode to let users select where to save a new file.

Example Workflow #

1. First, record your audio using a library like react-native-audio-recorder-player or react-native-sound-recorder—save the recording to a local file path.
2. Use react-native-document-picker to let the user choose a cloud service location to save the file.
3. Copy the local audio file to the selected cloud path.

Code Snippet #

import DocumentPicker from 'react-native-document-picker';
import RNFS from 'react-native-fs'; // For file system operations

const saveRecordedAudioToCloud = async (localAudioFilePath) => {
  try {
    // Open system file picker in "create" mode to select save location
    const selectedLocation = await DocumentPicker.pick({
      type: [DocumentPicker.types.audio],
      mode: 'create', // Critical: This enables saving new files to supported locations
      copyTo: 'documentDirectory', // Adjust based on your needs
    });

    // Read the local audio file content
    const audioFileContent = await RNFS.readFile(localAudioFilePath, 'base64');
    
    // Write the content to the selected cloud location
    await RNFS.writeFile(selectedLocation.uri, audioFileContent, 'base64');

    alert('Audio saved successfully to your selected cloud service!');
  } catch (error) {
    if (DocumentPicker.isCancel(error)) {
      console.log('User cancelled the save operation');
    } else {
      console.error('Error saving audio:', error);
      alert('Failed to save audio. Please try again.');
    }
  }
};

Pros & Cons #

• Pros: No need to integrate individual cloud SDKs, system UI automatically filters supported services, minimal code, cross-platform support.
• Cons: Limited UI customization (it uses the native system picker), but this is usually acceptable since users are familiar with their device’s native file interface.

Option 2: Integrate Individual Cloud Service SDKs #

If you need full control over the UI (e.g., custom buttons for each cloud service), you can integrate the official SDKs wrapped for React Native:

• Google Drive: react-native-google-drive-api-wrapper – Lets you authenticate users and upload files directly to their Drive.
• Dropbox: react-native-dropbox-sdk – Supports file uploads and folder management in Dropbox.
• iCloud Drive: For iOS, use react-native-icloud-store (note: iCloud has specific storage and sync behaviors to account for).

How to Implement #

1. For each cloud service, add the respective RN package to your project.
2. Implement authentication flows for each service (OAuth, etc.).
3. Build a custom UI that only shows services the user has installed/authorized.
4. Use the SDK APIs to upload the recorded audio file directly.

Pros & Cons #

• Pros: Full control over UI and user flow, can add custom features per service.
• Cons: Higher maintenance (updating multiple SDKs), requires handling platform-specific auth flows, more code to write.

Key Notes #

• For iOS, if supporting iCloud Drive, you’ll need to enable iCloud capabilities in your Xcode project and add the necessary entitlements.
• For Android, ensure you request the appropriate storage permissions (though modern Android versions handle this via the system picker).
• Test on real devices to verify cloud service visibility—emulators may not have all cloud apps installed.
