How to copy a file to storage? Flutter - flutter

Question

I want to copy an audio file to music folder in the storage. I have the path where the audio is, like '/data/user/0/app/audioFile' and I am passing to the function as 'audioPath'. I need help to finish this function, what can I do?
void _downloadAudio(audioPath) async {
var file = File(audioPath);
//get the music folder
await file.copy(music folder path);
}

You can use the getExternalStorageDirectory method from the dart:io library to get the path to the external storage directory on the device. This is where you can store files that are meant to be shared between apps or accessible to the user, such as music files. You can then use this path to construct the full path to the desired music folder. Here's an updated version of the function that will copy the audio file to the music folder:
import 'dart:io';
void _downloadAudio(String audioPath) async {
var file = File(audioPath);
// Get the external storage directory
final externalStorageDirectory = await getExternalStorageDirectory();
// Construct the full path to the music folder
final musicFolderPath = '${externalStorageDirectory.path}/Music';
// Check if the music folder exists, and create it if it doesn't
final musicFolder = Directory(musicFolderPath);
if (!await musicFolder.exists()) {
await musicFolder.create();
}
// Copy the audio file to the music folder
await file.copy('$musicFolderPath/${file.basename}');
}
Note that accessing the external storage directory requires the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissions, so you'll need to request these permissions from the user if your app doesn't already have them.
