Set start folder for browsing in File Manager widget

0
Hello, Is it possible to set the start folder which File Manager uses after pressing the "Browse” button.  I need to browse through a rather deep folder structure like \\office.nl\department\chemicals\liquids\*.pdf   however the browse starts from a local folder on my c: which makes it for users hard to navigate to the correct folder and selecting the correct file. Actually I only need to store the link of the selected file in a database, so if there is another option of loading the folder contents (read: filenames) in a list and have the user select a file(name) from the list it would solve my problem too. Anyone has an idea?

Don’t think it’s possible and reasonable.

Every user uses different computer, therefor the path to the file is different.

for example, user A stores a.pdf on their c:\, they can just click browse pick from there. user B stores a.pdf in a very deep folder, let’s say \\office.nl\department\chemicals\liquids\a.pdf .

So you can not specify a common path for the file manager.
