have you tried file picker?

Its usage seems simple:

FilePickerResult? result = await FilePicker.platform.pickFiles();

if(result != null) {
   File file = File(result.files.single.path);
} else {
   // User canceled the picker
}

Also, it has null safety support + a good rating on pub.dev

EDIT. One more example for you, here it comes:

FilePickerResult? result = await FilePicker.platform.pickFiles();

if(result != null) {
   PlatformFile file = result.files.first;
   
   print(file.name);
   print(file.bytes);
   print(file.size);
   print(file.extension);
   print(file.path);
} else {
   // User canceled the picker
}

I hope this helps.
