Answer 1

use file_picker package

maybe... not working you write permission in android manifest

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

example code

class FilePickerDemo extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _FilePickerDemoState createState() => new _FilePickerDemoState();
}

class _FilePickerDemoState extends State<FilePickerDemo> {
  String _fileName;
  String _path;
  Map<String, String> _paths;
  String _extension;
  bool _multiPick = false;
  bool _hasValidMime = false;
  FileType _pickingType;
  TextEditingController _controller = new TextEditingController();

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    _controller.addListener(() => _extension = _controller.text);
  }

  void _openFileExplorer() async {
    if (_pickingType != FileType.CUSTOM || _hasValidMime) {
      try {
        if (_multiPick) {
          _path = null;
          _paths = await FilePicker.getMultiFilePath(
              type: _pickingType, fileExtension: _extension);
        } else {
          _paths = null;
          _path = await FilePicker.getFilePath(
              type: _pickingType, fileExtension: _extension);
        }
      } on PlatformException catch (e) {
        print("Unsupported operation" + e.toString());
      }
      if (!mounted) return;

      setState(() {
        _fileName = _path != null
            ? _path.split('/').last
            : _paths != null ? _paths.keys.toString() : '...';
      });
    }
  }
