Hi,
I'm trying to find an element which will allow the user to browse through his computer and select a file.

I don't need for the file to be uploaded. I only need the filepath.

I'm using <input type="file"> right now, but as far as I understand, this element uploads the entire file?
And it also won't let me specify a default path, for security reasons, though since I only need the path and not the actual file, there should be no problem with this.

Thanks a lot
