Property 'moveFile' does not exist on type 'typeof File' ionic typescript

Not sure what is wrong but when I try to use File from @ionic-native I receive the error "Property 'moveFile' does not exist on type 'typeof File'". The package son was added after asked in the comments

import { NavController } from 'ionic-angular';
import { ToastController } from 'ionic-angular';
import { File } from '@ionic-native/file';
import { Diagnostic } from '@ionic-native/Diagnostic';
import { CameraPreview } from 'ionic-native'
import { CameraPreviewOptions, CameraPreviewDimensions } from '@ionic-native/camera-preview';
declare var cordova: any; 

constructor(public navCtrl: NavController, public toastCtrl: ToastController) {
  //  this.checkPermissions();
  }
  fileName = fileName.split("/").pop();
    File.moveFile(currentPath, fileName, externalStoragePath, fileName).then(_ => {
    this.toastCtrl.create(

You are using ionic-native 3.x.

You need to inject File in constructor and use the object. Static functions from class existed in ionic-native 2.x.

constructor(public navCtrl: NavController, public toastCtrl: ToastController,
     public file:File) {
  //  this.checkPermissions();
  }
  fileName = fileName.split("/").pop();
    this.file.moveFile(currentPath, fileName, externalStoragePath, fileName).then(_ => {
    this.toastCtrl.create(

You also need to set File as a provider in app.module.ts.

@NgModule({
 //..
 providers: [..,File,..]
  })
