ext_storage is minimal flutter plugin that provides external storage path and external public storage path.

https://pub.dev/packages/ext_storage

## Features

> **NOTE** This plugin is only supported Android.

ExtStorage package calls Android native code, `Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()` and `Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory()`.

| ExtStorage                                     | Andorid Native                                  |
|------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
| ExtStorage.getExternalStorageDirectory()       | Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()       |
| ExtStorage.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory() | Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory() |

`ExtStorage.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory()` needs Public Directory Type argument same as native `getExternalStoragePublicDirectory()`.
