Future file

[bkuf]

In cases where a file is going to be made in future automation is not available (as macrodroid aks to select that file). For example if a file is going to be !ade in future and not present at the moment then you can not open that file by open file option, can't use in HTTP REQUEST action, etc. Please add this feature

The problem is that it's not really possible as MacroDroid is restricted from accessing any file/folder unless it got permission from an app that can access any file. MacroDroidDev did try to add this but every attempt resulted in a failure (rejected from Play Store).
For more info, check this thread :

Google rejected my request to get all file access.

After November MacroDroid must target sdk 30 to be allowed to update on the Play Store. I tried my best to get permission, but my request has been rejected because the file operation "is not a core feature of the app". I think they would argue that any one feature of MacroDroid is not a core...

I think maybe what @bkuf wanted to point out is that when you setup HTTP request action and want to attach a file into a request body or setup file open action you need to manually choose the file which stays static with the action. You cannot use variables to create a dinamic path to the file, so that a file would be chosen depending on variable values and the action could use different files on every take. This is something I think would be partially limited by the fact that MacroDroid has no all file access thus it cannot read and write all folders, but should be still possible.

You can make MD access a whole folder so I imagine it would be possible to have dynamic file names.

I think, Simply, if MacroDroid asks for the file name instead of selecting then the problem is solved.
