Selecting a file path in the client and transmitting that to the backend is not the "web" way of doing things. For security reasons we do not have access to the file path by default.
We could:

• read the file in the client and transmit the file stream to the backend
• read the file in the client and save it to a temporary file with a well known path, transmit this temporary path to the backend
• add some electron (CEF) extension to read /select a file in electron including the file path
• Find a way to change the security settings of the browser to allow reading the path of a selected file (not sure if that's possible)

I'd go for option 1 or 2
