I think that the filename requires a file:// prefix. Android, for sharing any types of file requires a universal identifier or a Uri.

final String fileUriString = "file://" + Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/Folder" + "/" + "mycsv.csv";

Also, change the type to text/csv.

Intent sharingIntent = new Intent();
sharingIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse( fileUriString ) ) ;
sharingIntent.setType("text/csv");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent, "share file with"));
