A package that allows you to use the native file explorer to pick single or multiple files, with extensions filtering support.

• Uses OS default native pickers
• Pick files using custom format filtering — you can provide a list of file extensions (pdf, svg, zip, etc.)
• Pick files from cloud files (GDrive, Dropbox, iCloud)
• Single or multiple file picks
• Different default type filtering (media, image, video, audio or any)
• Picking directories
• Flutter Web
• Desktop (MacOS, Linux and Windows through Flutter Go)
• Load file data immediately into memory (Uint8List) if needed;

If you have any feature that you want to see in this package, please feel free to issue a suggestion. 🎉

Quick simple usage example:

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

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

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
}

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

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
}
