It's still not quite clear what you are trying to do. Your code looks in /applications/mcarriage_console/uploads, which looks like a web2py folder you would find on the server, not a folder a user would have on their own machine. Where exactly are the files of interest? If they are on the end-user's machine (e.g., a personal laptop), you simply cannot read their filesystem via the browser -- this is a security feature of all browsers. As Val K pointed out, you can use webkitdirectory <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLInputElement/webkitdirectory>, but it only works in Chrome, and it still requires the user to manually select the given folder via an input dialog -- it simply enables you to read all the files in a single folder (but you still cannot read any arbitrary folder on the user's machine without them first making a selection).
