Top Flutter File Picker packages
Last updated: April 2, 2024
File picker is a tool that allows users to select a file from their device. This can be used in a Flutter app to upload a file or an image.
In case of Desktop apps, file pickers are often enclosed in a drag and drop region, so that users can click and hold down the left mouse button on file, then drag the file to a new location, and finally release the left mouse button to drop the file to upload it.
The complete list of Flutter packages that can be used to add File Picker, Document Picker, or Drag and Drop capability to your Flutter app is provided below.
