Are you tired of making users download the same data every time they launch your app, but you don’t want to add the complexity of databases or document storage? Try path_provider, which allows you to find commonly used locations on the filesystem.

This video is also subtitled in Chinese, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish.

Can i use it to save an array of objects

[shahharoon]

I’m already using it, but it shows deprecated on android 31. Why! Any solution for that

[EstDeLeon]

path_provider dependencies are outdated which makes flutter_local_notifications to get an older version. I have to use instead path_provider_android, path_provider_foundation, path_provider_windows and path_provider_linux packages individually in order to get the application documents directory path.

[patildeepak]

I’m getting OS error saying read only file system inspite of enabling the storage permission. I tried create recursive as well. Can anyone help me with this issue?
Cheers!

It would be great if there was a synchronous function like <file.readAsStringaSync> or something like that to get directories.

Wish there was a plugin for no temporary file saving. Like a downloaded file or a captured image
