Usage #

Quick simple usage example:

Single file

FilePickerResult result = await FilePicker.platform.pickFiles();

if(result != null) {
   File file = File(result.files.single.path);
} else {
   // User canceled the picker
}

Multiple files

FilePickerResult result = await FilePicker.platform.pickFiles(allowMultiple: true);

if(result != null) {
   List<File> files = result.paths.map((path) => File(path)).toList();
} else {
   // User canceled the picker
}

Multiple files with extension filter

FilePickerResult result = await FilePicker.platform.pickFiles(
          type: FileType.custom,
          allowedExtensions: ['jpg', 'pdf', 'doc'],
        );

Load result and file details #

FilePickerResult result = await FilePicker.platform.pickFiles();

if(result != null) {
   PlatformFile file = result.files.first;
   
   print(file.name);
   print(file.bytes);
   print(file.size);
   print(file.extension);
   print(file.path);
} else {
   // User canceled the picker
}
