Solution ^^: get the selected files by using controller.isSelected inside the for loop

 for(int i=0;i<multiSelectList.length;i++)
                if(controller.isSelected(i)){
                  files.add(multiSelectList[i].path);
                }

Example

class _MultiSelectListDemoState extends State<MultiSelectListDemo> {


  List<FileModel> multiSelectList = [];


  MultiSelectController controller = new MultiSelectController();

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();

    multiSelectList.add(FileModel(path: 'assets/1.jpeg', name:"Welcome to New York City!"));
    multiSelectList.add(FileModel(path: 'assets/2.jpeg', name:"Welcome to San francisco!"));
    multiSelectList.add(FileModel(path: 'assets/3.jpeg', name:"Welcome to Chicago!"));
    multiSelectList.add(FileModel(path: 'assets/4.jpeg', name:"Welcome to Houston!"));

    controller.disableEditingWhenNoneSelected = true;
    controller.set(multiSelectList.length);
  }


  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return WillPopScope(
      onWillPop: () async {
        var before = !controller.isSelecting;
        setState(() {
          controller.deselectAll();
        });
        return before;
      },
      child: new Scaffold(
        appBar: new AppBar(
          title: new Text('Selected ${controller.selectedIndexes.length}' ),
        ),
        body:Column(
          children: [
            Expanded(child: ListView.builder(
              itemCount: multiSelectList.length,
              itemBuilder: (context, index) {
                return InkWell(
                  onTap: () {},
                  child: MultiSelectItem(
                    isSelecting: controller.isSelecting,
                    onSelected: () {
                      setState(() {
                        controller.toggle(index);
                      });
                    },
                    child:Container(
                      height:75,
                      margin: EdgeInsets.only(left:15,right:15,top:15),
                      decoration: BoxDecoration(
                        borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(12),
                        color: Colors.transparent,
                      ),
                      child:Card(
                        color:controller.isSelected(index)
                            ? Colors.grey.shade200:Colors.white,
                        shape: RoundedRectangleBorder(

                          borderRadius: BorderRadius.all(Radius.circular(8.0)),

                        ),
                        child:Padding(

                            ],
                          ),

                      ),
                    ),
                  ),
                );
              },
            )),
            ElevatedButton(onPressed: (){
              List<String> files = List.empty(growable: true);

              for(int i=0;i<multiSelectList.length;i++)
                if(controller.isSelected(i)){
                  files.add(multiSelectList[i].path);
                }


              print("selected files $files");


            }, child: Text("zip"))
          ],
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}



class FileModel{
  final String path;
  final String name;

  FileModel({required this.path, required this.name});

  @override
  String toString() {
    return 'FileModel{name: $name}';
  }
