I didn't find a generalized answer to it. But if you want a special case and need emails for notification to just yourself then in that case you can use EmailJS . It is a client-side service and you can set a template for your use. You may refer to this video - [this video] But you need to make sure that 'to_parameter' is fixed. So that it is safe. I will update this answer if I find an alternative method.

I'm using the csv package [LINK] to convert the data to csv, the path_provider [LINK] to get the directory to write the file to the phone, and the share_plus [LINK] package to share the file. However, when I tap a share method (e.g. Gmail, Outlook, Whatsapp), it opens the right app but then I get a message on the phone like "Unable to attach file" (but there is no error in my app). The file is definitely being written as I can read it and it comes back with the expected string. The ShareResultStatus that is returned by the share is 'successful' Can anyone figure it out
