HWC app allow you to use camera to take a picture and upload to server. If you want to browse your file system, you have to use phonegap to do so. I think hwc app packaged phonegap apis but I haven’t looked into that part by myself. So basically it’s doable.

As Tahir mentioned the best way is to use PhoneGap APIs in the case of HWC and you have to use the file explorer for it. Best example for PhoneGap is,

Can you please elaborate.

It is possible to use URLs in the HWC app, once the user clicks the browser opens.

Hi Midhun,

It was about Opening File Browser, to search attachments or documents stored on your device and select and upload through MBO.
