@MathJud Sorry for delay. I was working on the issue and went though code base. While implementing the record feature I am using import 'package:record/record.dart'; which is using await record.start(const RecordConfig(), path: 'aFullPath/myFile.m4a'); to start recording. I want to know what path should I specify. Is qual storing any messages on user end at any location?

@sukhman-sukh Thanks for your work! The file should be saved locally and then handed over via RPC to libqaul.

1) record the file into the local flutter app storage. 2) send the path to the recorded file via to a chat group using the protobuf RPC message chatfile > SendFileRequest (see https://github.com/qaul/qaul.net/blob/0da91d6af5f8b99cc77f43f436a0608f3dea32fc/rust/libqaul/src/services/chat/chatfile_rpc.proto#L32 )

the file will then be copied by libqaul into the libqaul storage, will be encrypted and sent to the chat group.

In order to hand the file over to libqaul for sending:

There is a function in the libqaul_worker to send the file to libqaul (see https://github.com/qaul/qaul.net/blob/0da91d6af5f8b99cc77f43f436a0608f3dea32fc/qaul_ui/packages/qaul_rpc/lib/src/libqaul_worker.dart#L261 )
the file sharing dialog is using the same function (see https://github.com/qaul/qaul.net/blob/0da91d6af5f8b99cc77f43f436a0608f3dea32fc/qaul_ui/lib/screens/home/tabs/chat/widgets/file_sharing.dart#L54 )
