Xamarin.android - Copy .jpg to shared folder - file

Question

I'm using a Samba File Server for copy files from my Android device to a shared folder on Windows. With .txt files i haven't any problems, works fine, but I tried to copy a .jpg file into shared folder and it fails. I searched a lot of codes from internet but anyone solved my problem.
I managed to copy the image, but when I open it, is damaged.
Does anyone have any sample code?
My code is this:
Java.IO.File mfile = new Java.IO.File(item.FullName);
var mSharedFolderCalidad = new SmbFile(AppGlobalConfigSoftware.Instance.Parameters.PathToDownloadCalidad + item.Name);
//If exists don't create another time
if (!mSharedFolderCalidad.Exists())
mSharedFolderCalidad.CreateNewFile();
InputStream inFile = new FileInputStream(mfile);
SmbFileOutputStream sfos = new SmbFileOutputStream(mSharedFolderCalidad);
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int len;
while ((len = inFile.Read(buf)) > 0)
{
sfos.Write(buf, 0, len);
}
inFile.Close();
sfos.Close();
All help is appreciated.
Thank you.

You can use Media.Plugin from nuget to take photo firstly.
var file = await CrossMedia.Current.TakePhotoAsync(new StoreCameraMediaOptions
{
PhotoSize = PhotoSize.Medium,
});
public byte[] ReadFully(Stream input)
{
byte[] buffer = new byte[16*1024];
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
{
int read;
while ((read = input.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) > 0)
{
ms.Write(buffer, 0, read);
}
return ms.ToArray();
}
}
MediaFile has GetStream().
You could use this to the Stream and then convert that to a byte[]. Here is one way to do that:
Define a stream
Stream imageStream;
And init it after you take the photo .
imageStream = file.GetStream();
var imageArr= ReadFully(imageStream );
And then write it to your folder .
