How to retrieve multiple different files form firebase to flutter - flutter

Question

I don't want to upload my code but I am having problems with retrieving multiple files from firebase storage. So in my app, I want to make users upload different files and while uploading it will show up in a list form.
The thing is I am able to save files into the firebase storage but I am freaking out trying to retrieve them into my application. I really hope if I get some to help me with this.

I don't exactly know what you're trying to achieve but maybe this would help.
When you upload your file to firestore storage, get a download link of that file and store it in the collection. Then you can retrieve the list of files you have uploaded.
Get the download URL of the uploaded file
UploadTask imageUploadTask = storageReference.putFile(file);
await imageUploadTask.whenComplete(() async {
mediaURL = await imageUploadTask.snapshot.ref.getDownloadURL();
print("download url = $mediaURL");
return mediaURL;
}).catchError((err){
print(err.toString());
});
Save URL to the collection
final CollectionReference _filesCollectionReference = FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection("files");
Map<String, String> file = {
"downloadURL" : url,
};
var result = await _filesCollectionReference.add(file);
Retrieve files
await _filesCollectionReference.get();
