NOTE: This application is not meant to be deployed in a remote server, just in a local machine. I use Shiny because it's easy to create a friendly user interface.
In my application I need to select a file from a local machine. The only means I found for this were file.choose() and fileInput(). The first option does the work but it isn't user friendly because the file chooser won't appear on top of the browser... Not even as a new element in the task bar, so the user could be confused.
1) Is there another way to do this? (Not using fileInput as fileChooser)
2) If not, is there a way to hide the uploading bar? It doesn't make any sense for a fileChooser.
I don't know what to modify here in order to hide the upload bar.
EDIT: I also use other progress bars in my application, so I'm not sure if hiding the progress-bar class would hide all my progress <- shiny::Progress$new()


shiny-file-input-progresswhich would then not influence other progress bars.
