import 'dart:async';
import 'package:universal_html/prefer_universal/html.dart' as html;
import 'package:firebase/firebase.dart' as fb;

Future uploadImageFile(html.File image,
      {String imageName}) async {
    fb.StorageReference storageRef = fb.storage().ref('images/$imageName');
    fb.UploadTaskSnapshot uploadTaskSnapshot = await storageRef.put(image).future;
    
    Uri imageUri = await uploadTaskSnapshot.ref.getDownloadURL();
    return imageUri;
}

I hope it helps someone with the same need as me.
