I'm trying to figure out how to store pictures for a group chat in flutter and Firestore. I tried using Firebase storage but I'd have to create a separate storage place for each group. Maybe you have a way to store it somewhere. I also need to show it on the homepage of the user.

Nope, you don't need to create separate storage for each group. – Mises Jan 06 '23 at 03:11

Magic. Same as you store all groups data in Firestore. You literally can have there terabytes of images, and you can sort them, kinda like in Firestore. – Mises Jan 06 '23 at 03:20

What i achive this before is upload images to Storage then get the downloadURL, Then save downloadURL to firestore. – flutroid Jan 06 '23 at 06:06

Well I did using base64 strings in the document then you convert that base64 String to a file and that is, it all worked! – Wilson Toribio Jan 06 '23 at 12:07

The chat page allows you to send images. The sent images can be uploaded/stored on the Firebase storage.Also after hosting these images the paths from the device's local storage can be fetched using image_picker and then finally display these images.
Also check the following examples for similar implementations:
