I'm creating an app for my office to track files. The user has the ability to upload files to the server if they wish, but sometimes we just need to know what folder to find it on our local file server (same directories for everyone). If the user could browse to the file and that info be captured, that'd be great.

Is there a way to capture the local file directory (without file name, if possible) from a browsed file input?

If not, what would you do instead?
