FlutterFlow's "Upload Media to Firebase" action doesn't return the path/URL

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to build a document upload feature in FlutterFlow where the user:

• Selects a category

• Enters a document name

• Uploads a JPG/PNG/PDF

• Submits, and the data is saved to Firestore with a file URL

Here's the issue:

I've used the “Upload Media to Firebase” action on a Container or IconButton, and while the upload works, I don’t get an option to save or capture the uploaded file's download URL in a page/state variable.

I tried:

• Using both “Upload file to Firebase” and “Upload media to Firebase” actions

• Adding a second action like “Download File” or “Set State”

• Looking for an output variable or file path reference, but none appears

As a workaround, I was thinking about:

• Manually constructing the URL using a predictable Firebase path

• Or uploading via an external API/3rd-party service that returns the URL

But ideally, I’d love to do this entirely within FlutterFlow + Firebase, with access to the file URL.

Has anyone gotten this to work recently (April 2025) with the current FF version?

Would appreciate any workarounds or suggestions!

Thanks 🙏
