It's the year 2020. PLEASE allow local files to be added from mobiles.

Getting my local files from a laptop and making them playable on my phone is a time consuming puzzle as it is, considering the files only download about 15% of the times I try this. And then you're stuck having to use the same PC every single time, otherwise your *old* local files will disappear as soon as you manage to download the new ones from another PC (I just added two new local files from my friend's laptop, and so all my old local files disappeared).

And then there's a matter of owning a laptop. I barely know anyone that uses one anymore, I haven't actually owned one myself since 2017. The desktop version of Spotify is extremely slow even on a brand new laptop, so the only reason I'd ever use it is to grab these local files, most of which are from Bandcamp. These songs can all be downloaded from Bandcamp's app and onto my phone in a matter of seconds, so it'd only make sense to be able to import them into a Spotify playlist via mobile as well. Why is this still not possible?
