@altmash5
I guess there is some issue in the downloadFile()
Anyway I just changed it a little bit as I want my application to make its own directory in external storage if not created or just save the file in it if its already created so I did the following:

static Future downloadFile(Reference ref) async {
Directory directory = await getExternalStorageDirectory();
String newPath = "";
print(directory);
List paths = directory.path.split("/");
for (int x = 1; x < paths.length; x++) {
String folder = paths[x];
if (folder != "Android") {
newPath += "/" + folder;
} else {
break;
}
}
newPath = newPath + "/put in the name of directory you want to store the file in";
directory = Directory(newPath);
File saveFile = File('${directory.path}/${ref.name}');
if (!await directory.exists()) {
await directory.create(recursive: true);
}
if (await directory.exists()) {
await ref.writeToFile(saveFile);
}
}

Thats it,
Hope it helps.
