This is a browser security restriction, in modern browsers you cannot get the full client file-system path of the selected file, nor set a path programmatically...

Maybe for security reason, javascript doesn't allow this to happen. And if you e to think of it, Server side pages cannot access your local files. Not that I have a solution for your question.

Actually, there is some kind of solution.
Albeit, it will help only if you can run Electron desktop app on local machine: https://stackoverflow./a/59990858/9390914
