Feature request: arbitrary file uploads in Codex Remote on mobile
Codex Remote currently allows me to attach images, but not arbitrary files such as .zip, .md, .txt, or .json.
My workflow involves preparing structured Codex prompts in ChatGPT. These prompts are often delivered as an archive containing several instruction and context files. When I connect to Codex running on my PC through the ChatGPT mobile app, I cannot transfer this archive to the connected workspace.
Please add one of the following capabilities:
- Upload arbitrary files from the mobile device directly into the connected Codex workspace.
- Select a destination folder on the connected host before uploading.
- Import a ZIP archive and optionally extract it into the workspace.
- Share a file from the Android or iOS system share menu directly to Codex Remote.
This would make Codex Remote suitable not only for monitoring and approving tasks, but also for starting complex tasks from a mobile device.

I’d also like this Share Sheet integration to support URLs and text, not only files.
My main workflow is sharing a TikTok video link directly from the TikTok iOS app to Codex. The same flow should work for links shared from Safari and other apps.
The Share extension should let me:
This would avoid copying the TikTok link, opening ChatGPT, navigating to Codex, finding the correct task, and pasting it manually.
