To add OpenUPM to your project:

• open Edit/Project Settings/Package Manager
• add a new Scoped Registry:

Scope(s): io.github.gkngkc.unity-standalone-file-browser

• click Save
• open Package Manager
• Select My Registries in dropdown top left
• Select Unity Standalone File Browser and click Install

Add from GitHub | not recommended, no updates through PackMan

You can also add it directly from GitHub on Unity 2019.4+. Note that you won't be able to receive updates through Package Manager this way, you'll have to update manually.

• open Package Manager
• click +
• select Add from Git URL
• paste https://github.com/shiena/UnityStandaloneFileBrowser.git?path=Packages/StandaloneFileBrowser#upm
• click Add

Example usage:

// Open file
var paths = StandaloneFileBrowser.OpenFilePanel("Open File", "", "", false);

// Open file async
StandaloneFileBrowser.OpenFilePanelAsync("Open File", "", "", false, (string[] paths) => {  });

// Open file with filter
var extensions = new [] {
    new ExtensionFilter("Image Files", "png", "jpg", "jpeg" ),
    new ExtensionFilter("Sound Files", "mp3", "wav" ),
    new ExtensionFilter("All Files", "*" ),
};
var paths = StandaloneFileBrowser.OpenFilePanel("Open File", "", extensions, true);

// Save file
var path = StandaloneFileBrowser.SaveFilePanel("Save File", "", "", "");

// Save file async
StandaloneFileBrowser.SaveFilePanelAsync("Save File", "", "", "", (string path) => {  });

// Save file with filter
var extensionList = new [] {
    new ExtensionFilter("Binary", "bin"),
    new ExtensionFilter("Text", "txt"),
};
var path = StandaloneFileBrowser.SaveFilePanel("Save File", "", "MySaveFile", extensionList);

Notes:

• Windows

  • Requires .NET 3.5 or higher api compatibility level
  • Async dialog opening not implemented, ..Async methods simply calls regular sync methods.
  • Plugin import settings should be like this;

  

• Mac

  • Sync calls are throws an exception at development build after native panel loses and gains focus. Use async calls to avoid this.

WebGL:

• Basic upload/download file support.
• File filter support.
• Not well tested, probably not much reliable.
• Since browsers require more work to do file operations, webgl isn't directly implemented to Open/Save calls. You can check CanvasSampleScene.unity and canvas sample scripts for example usages.
