Xamarin essentials FodlerPicker?-CodePudding

I am looking for a solution that lets the user pick the folder location where they want to save their file(s). I am aware of FilePicker in the Xamarin.Essentials package, but this only allows the user to pick individual files, not folders. I am trying to accomplish this for all 4 platforms (Windows, iOS, Mac, and UWP). Any help is greatly appreciated.

You can only achieve with Xamarin what is natively possible. If you try to code using native iOS in Objective-C/Swift/SwiftUI, there's no way to select which folder in the photo gallery to save your pictures in. Therefore it's not technically possible to achieve a solution that you are looking for in all 4 platforms.

For now, no FodlerPicker in Xamarin.Forms.

You could create your own custom folder picker like below. Use the TapGestureRecognizer to simulate the selecting operation to save to the specific location.

  <ListView ItemsSource="{Binding folders}">
        <ListView.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <ViewCell>
                    <Label Text="{Binding folder}">
                        <Label.GestureRecognizers>
                            <TapGestureRecognizer  Tapped="TapGestureRecognizer_Tapped"></TapGestureRecognizer>
                        </Label.GestureRecognizers>
                    </Label>
                </ViewCell>
            </DataTemplate>
        </ListView.ItemTemplate>
    </ListView>
