I am trying to customize the "Browse/Choose File" button on a document upload. I am using SharePoint 2016 on-prem, classic.image of document upload

So when a user clicks the button to select the file from their computer the windows explorer opens to a specific folder on their desktop. Every users desktop in our organization has this folder where they store weekly reports.

So for example: when a user clicks Choose File it will open directly to the Cluster_Logs folder on their desktop.enter image description here

Is there a way to override that with JavaScript so I can force where the window opens to?

  • Don't forget to include which version of SharePoint you are on and whether on-prem or online, and modern versus classic sites. When needing UI customizations the answer can very different depending on these factors.
