## Share to topic
You can share files to a topic using Android's "Share" feature. This works in almost any app that supports sharing files
or text, and it's useful for sending yourself links, files or other things. The feature remembers a few of the last topics
you shared content to and lists them at the bottom.
The feature is pretty self-explanatory, and one picture says more than a thousand words. So here are two pictures:
<div id="share-to-topic-screenshots" class="screenshots">
<a href="../../static/img/android-screenshot-share-1.jpg"><img src="../../static/img/android-screenshot-share-1.jpg"/></a>
<a href="../../static/img/android-screenshot-share-2.jpg"><img src="../../static/img/android-screenshot-share-2.jpg"/></a>
</div>
## ntfy:// links
The ntfy Android app supports deep linking directly to topics. This is useful when integrating with [automation apps](#automation-apps)
such as [MacroDroid](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arlosoft.macrodroid) or [Tasker](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm),
or to simply directly link to a topic from a mobile website.
!!! info
Android deep linking of http/https links is very brittle and limited, which is why something like `https://<host>/<topic>/subscribe` is
**not possible**, and instead `ntfy://` links have to be used. More details in [issue #20](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/20).
**Supported link formats:**
| Link format | Example | Description |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| <span style="white-space: nowrap">`ntfy://<host>/<topic>`</span> | `ntfy://ntfy.sh/mytopic` | Directly opens the Android app detail view for the given topic and server. Subscribes to the topic if not already subscribed. This is equivalent to the web view `https://ntfy.sh/mytopic` (HTTPS!) |
| <span style="white-space: nowrap">`ntfy://<host>/<topic>?secure=false`</span> | `ntfy://example.com/mytopic?secure=false` | Same as above, except that this will use HTTP instead of HTTPS as topic URL. This is equivalent to the web view `http://example.com/mytopic` (HTTP!) |
