How can I save a local file into assets folder in Flutter

My flutter desktop application takes a local file (audio/video/image) as user input. Now I need to save it to somewhere for later usage. So that even if the device changes the application can still access them using relative path.

What I want to do is copy this file to assets folder using file.copy method. But how can I get the assets folder's directory? I don't want to hardcode assets folder's absolute path. Is there any way to copy files into assets folder using relative path?

Or any alternate way to do the task?

assets is read-only. Use documents directory where the application can store files that only it can access.

final directory = await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory();

See Read and write files for details.
