Isn't that what the File System Access API is for? It allows you to open files on your own machine near-natively.

- zamadatix 4y agoBoth APIs are part of the same standard. If you just want to store things for your site/webapp you want the origin private filesystem and you can just go for it. If you want to do something with one of the user's files it requires interaction from the user to select the folder/file since it'd be a security nightmare otherwise. You can also do both e.g. store a bunch of backend stuff for your photo editing webapp in the origin private filesystem but prompt the user to select their images folder so they can start editing them.
