Ability to upload almost anything (sometimes when I want it to get saved, I can't see Raindrop.io app because app only adds links, I want to click Share and choose Raindrop.io for gifs, pics, videos to watch that uses my accounts storage associated to my storage amount (like I specified in https://productpains.com/post/raindropio/ability-to-cache-websites)
The reason I use raindrop is because I can manually add links unlike the pocket app. I must share instead, and because pocket has a feature where all sites I saved, gets saved permanently so even if site falls down I will be able to browse still (with their pro account). Considering it's $5/mo for this feature, I would buy it but they only allow sites to be added through the share option. If raindrop had this feature, I'm sure it would increase the amount of people paying for it.
zau hap
All types of uploaded files cannot be downloaded. Unless raindropio can exist forever, my information is not safe and cannot be used well.

PDFs from google drive are not correctly categorized by the Raindrop.io. it considers them as Video, not Docs

I can't guarantee support for any file type, but many types are planned (PDF, PPT, DOC). Please describe in the comments what types you want to have?

Rustem Mussabekov: PDF, which is addressed in another issue already. Mostly thinking about pieces of content that live on the web that might not live there forever. I'd rather download and put on Raindrop for posterity.

Rustem Mussabekov: Please consider supporting LibreOffice file formats, such as .odt, .ods., .odp, and .odg. 200 million people, a quarter of whom are students, use this free Microsoft Office alternative. It hurts people like me when I use Raindrop, only to not be able to upload a document by a popular office suite and be forced to resort to superfluous file conversions that often affect my documents' styling. And this can be fixed as easily as by allowing these file formats, which are parallel to Microsoft Office's. Thank you for your consideration. -Stanley
