Abstract
This document defines a web platform API that enables developers to build
powerful web apps that interact with files on the user’s local device. It builds on File API for file reading capabilities, and adds new API surface to enable modifying files, as well as working with directories.

1. Introduction
This section is non-normative.
This API enables developers to build powerful apps that interact with other (non-Web) apps on the user’s device via the device’s file system. Prominent examples of applications where users expect this functionality are IDEs, photo and video editors, text editors, and more. After a user grants a web app access, this API allows the app to read or save changes directly to files and folders on the user’s device. Beyond reading and writing files, this API provides the ability to open a directory and enumerate its contents. Additionally, web apps can use this API to store references to files and directories they’ve been given access to, allowing the web apps to later regain access to the same content without requiring the user to select the same file again.
This API is similar to <input type=file>
and <input type=file webkitdirectory>
[entries-api] in that user interaction happens through file and directory picker dialogs.
Unlike those APIs, this API is currently purely a javascript API, and
does not integrate with forms and/or input elements.
Additionally this API also makes it possible for websites to get access to some
directory without having to first prompt the user for access. This enables use
cases where a website wants to save data to disk before a user has picked a
location to save to, without forcing the website to use a completely different
storage mechanism with a different API for such files. It also makes it easier
to write automated tests for code using this API. The entry point for this is the navigator.storage.getDirectory()
method. This
is similar to the temporary file system as defined in earlier drafts of File API: Directories and System.
2. Files and Directories
2.1. Concepts
An entry is either a file entry or a directory entry.
Each entry has an associated name (a string).
A valid file name is a string that is not an empty string, is not equal to "." or "..", and does not contain '/' or any other character used as path separator on the underlying platform.
Note: This means that '\' is not allowed in names on Windows, but might be allowed on other operating systems. Additionally underlying file systems might have further restrictions on what names are or aren’t allowed, so a string merely being a valid file name is not a guarantee that creating a file or directory with that name will succeed.
We should consider having further normative restrictions on file names that will never be allowed using this API, rather than leaving it entirely up to underlying file systems.
A valid suffix code point is a code point that is ASCII alphanumeric, U+002B (+), or U+002E (.).
Note: These code points were chosen to support most pre-existing file formats. The vast
majority of file extensions are purely alphanumeric, but compound extensions (such as .tar.gz
) and extensions such as .c++
for C++ source code are also fairly common,
hence the inclusion of + and . as allowed code points.
A file entry additionally consists of binary data (a byte sequence) and a modification timestamp (a number representing the number of milliseconds since the Unix Epoch).
A directory entry additionally consists of a set of children, which are themselves entries. Each member is either a file or a directory.
An entry entry should be contained in the children of at most one directory entry, and that directory entry is also known as entry’s parent. An entry's parent is null if no such directory entry exists.
Note: Two different entries can represent the same file or directory on disk, in which
case it is possible for both entries to have a different parent, or for one entry to have a
parent while the other entry does not have a parent. Typically an entry does not have a parent
if it was returned by navigator.storage.getDirectory()
or one of the local file system handle factories,
and an entry will have a parent in all other cases.
Entries can (but don’t have to) be backed by files on the host operating system’s local file system, so it is possible for the binary data, modification timestamp, and children of entries to be modified by applications outside of this specification. Exactly how external changes are reflected in the data structures defined by this specification, as well as how changes made to the data structures defined here are reflected externally is left up to individual user-agent implementations.
An entry a is the same as an entry b if a is equal to b, or if a and b are backed by the same file or directory on the local file system.
TODO: Explain better how entries map to files on disk (multiple entries can map to the same file or directory on disk but an entry doesn’t have to map to any file on disk).

Run the following steps in parallel:
-
If child is the same as root, resolve result with an empty list, and abort.
-
Let childPromises be « ».

Return result.
2.2. Permissions
The "file-system"
powerful feature's
permission-related algorithms and types are defined as follows:
FileSystemPermissionDescriptor
, defined as:
enumpermission state constraintsFileSystemPermissionMode
{"read"
,"readwrite"
}; dictionaryFileSystemPermissionDescriptor
: PermissionDescriptor { required FileSystemHandlehandle
; FileSystemPermissionModemode
= "read"; };
FileSystemPermissionDescriptor
desc,
run these steps:
-
If entry represents an entry in an origin private file system, this descriptor’s permission state must always be
"granted"
. -
Otherwise, if entry’s parent is not null, this descriptor’s permission state must be equal to the permission state for a descriptor with the same
mode
, and ahandle
representing entry’s parent. -
Otherwise, if desc.
mode
is"readwrite"
:-
Let read state be the permission state for a descriptor with the same
handle
, butmode
="read"
. -
If read state is not
"granted"
, this descriptor’s permission state must be equal to read state.
-
FileSystemHandle
handle and a FileSystemPermissionMode
mode, run these steps:
FileSystemHandle
handle and a FileSystemPermissionMode
mode, run these steps:
-
Let desc be a
FileSystemPermissionDescriptor
. -
Set desc.
name
to"file-system"
. -
Set desc.
handle
to handle. -
Set desc.
mode
to mode. -
Let status be the result of running create a PermissionStatus for desc.
-
Run the permission request algorithm for the
"file-system"
feature, given desc and status. -
Return desc’s permission state.
Currently FileSystemPermissionMode
can only be "read"
or "readwrite"
. In
the future we might want to add a "write" mode as well to support write-only handles. [Issue #119]
2.3. The FileSystemHandle
interface
dictionaryFileSystemHandlePermissionDescriptor
{ FileSystemPermissionModemode
= "read"; }; enumFileSystemHandleKind
{"file"
,"directory"
, }; [Exposed=(Window,Worker), SecureContext, Serializable] interfaceFileSystemHandle
{ readonly attribute FileSystemHandleKind kind; readonly attribute USVString name; Promise<boolean> isSameEntry(FileSystemHandleother
); Promise<PermissionState> queryPermission(optional FileSystemHandlePermissionDescriptordescriptor
= {}); Promise<PermissionState> requestPermission(optional FileSystemHandlePermissionDescriptordescriptor
= {}); };
A FileSystemHandle
object represents an entry. Each FileSystemHandle
object is associated
with an entry (an entry). Multiple separate objects implementing
the FileSystemHandle
interface can all be associated with the same entry simultaneously.
FileSystemHandle
objects are serializable objects.
In the Origin Trial as available in Chrome 78, these objects are not yet serializable. In Chrome 82 they are.
Their serialization steps, given value, serialized and forStorage are:
-
Set serialized.[[Origin]] to value’s relevant settings object's origin.
-
Set serialized.[[Entry]] to value’s entry.
-
If serialized.[[Origin]] is not same origin with value’s relevant settings object's origin, then throw a
DataCloneError
. -
Set value’s entry to serialized.[[Entry]]
handle . kind
Returns "file"
if handle is a FileSystemFileHandle
,
or "directory"
if handle is a FileSystemDirectoryHandle
.
This can be used to distinguish files from directories when iterating over the contents of a directory.
handle . name
Returns the name of the entry represented by handle.
The kind
attribute must
return "file"
if the associated entry is a file entry,
and return "directory"
otherwise.
The name
attribute must return the name of the
associated entry.
2.3.1. The isSameEntry()
method
isSameEntry
( handle2 )
Returns true if handle1 and handle2 represent the same file or directory.
This method is first available in Chrome 82.
isSameEntry(other)
method, when invoked, must run these steps:
-
Let realm be this's relevant Realm.
-
Let p be a new promise in realm.
-
Run the following steps in parallel:
-
Return p.
2.3.2. The queryPermission()
method
queryPermission
({ mode
: "read"
})
status = await handle . queryPermission()
status = (await navigator.permissions
.query
({ name
: "file-system", handle
: handle })).state
Queries the current state of the read permission of this handle. If this returns "prompt"
the website will have to call requestPermission()
before any
operations on the handle can be done. If this returns "denied"
any operations will reject.
Usually handles returned by the local file system handle factories will initially return "granted"
for
their read permission state, however other than through the user revoking permission, a handle
retrieved from IndexedDB is also likely to return "prompt"
.
queryPermission
({ mode
: "readwrite"
})
status = (await navigator.permissions
.query
({ name
: "file-system", handle
: handle, mode
: "readwrite"
}).state
Queries the current state of the write permission of this handle. If this returns "prompt"
,
attempting to modify the file or directory this handle represents will require user activation
and will result in a confirmation prompt being shown to the user. However if the state of the
read permission of this handle is also "prompt"
the website will need to call requestPermission()
. There is no automatic prompting for read access when
attempting to read from a file or directory.
The integration with the permissions API’s query()
method is not yet implemented in Chrome.
queryPermission(descriptor)
method, when invoked, must run these steps:
-
Let result be a new promise.
-
Run the following steps in parallel:
-
Let state be the result of querying file system permission given this and descriptor.
mode
. -
Resolve result with state.
-
-
Return result.
2.3.3. The requestPermission()
method
requestPermission
({ mode
: "read"
})
status = await handle . requestPermission()
If the state of the read permission of this handle is anything other than "prompt"
, this
will return that state directly. If it is "prompt"
however, user activation is needed and
this will show a confirmation prompt to the user. The new read permission state is then
returned, depending on the user’s response to the prompt.
requestPermission
({ mode
: "readwrite"
})
If the state of the write permission of this handle is anything other than "prompt"
, this
will return that state directly. If the status of the read permission of this handle is "denied"
this will return that.
Otherwise the state of the write permission is "prompt"
and this will show a confirmation
prompt to the user. The new write permission state is then returned, depending on what the user
selected.
requestPermission(descriptor)
method, when invoked, must run these steps:
-
Let result be a new promise.
-
Run the following steps in parallel:
-
Let state be the result of requesting file system permission given this and descriptor.
mode
. If that throws an exception, reject result with that exception and abort. -
Resolve result with state.
-
-
Return result.
2.4. The FileSystemFileHandle
interface
dictionaryFileSystemCreateWritableOptions
{ booleankeepExistingData
= false; }; [Exposed=(Window,Worker), SecureContext, Serializable] interfaceFileSystemFileHandle
: FileSystemHandle { Promise<File> getFile(); Promise<FileSystemWritableFileStream> createWritable(optional FileSystemCreateWritableOptionsoptions
= {}); };
A FileSystemFileHandle
's associated entry must be a file entry.
FileSystemFileHandle
objects are serializable objects. Their serialization steps and deserialization steps are the same as those for FileSystemHandle
.
In the Origin Trial as available in Chrome 78, these objects are not yet serializable. In Chrome 82 they are.
2.4.1. The getFile()
method
getFile()
Returns a File
representing the state on disk of the entry represented by handle.
If the file on disk changes or is removed after this method is called, the returned File
object will likely be no longer readable.
getFile()
method, when invoked, must run these steps:
-
Let result be a new promise.
-
Run the following steps in parallel:
-
Let permissionStatus be the result of querying file system permission given this and
"read"
. -
If permissionStatus is not
"granted"
, reject result with aNotAllowedError
and abort. -
Let f be a new
File
. -
Set f’s snapshot state to the current state of entry.
-
Set f’s underlying byte sequence to a copy of entry’s binary data.
-
Initialize the value of f’s
lastModified
attribute to entry’s modification timestamp. -
Initialize the value of f’s
type
attribute to an implementation defined value, based on for example entry’s name and/or its file extension.The reading and snapshotting behavior needs to be better specified in the [FILE-API] spec, for now this is kind of hand-wavy.
-
Resolve result with f.
-
-
Return result.
2.4.2. The createWritable()
method
In the Origin Trial as available in Chrome 82, createWritable replaces the createWriter method.
createWritable()
stream = await fileHandle . createWritable
({ keepExistingData
: true/false })
Returns a FileSystemWritableFileStream
that can be used to write to the file. Any changes made through stream won’t be reflected in the file represented by fileHandle until the stream has been closed.
User agents try to ensure that no partial writes happen, i.e. the file represented by fileHandle will either contain its old contents or it will contain whatever data was written
through stream up until the stream has been closed.
This is typically implemented by writing data to a temporary file, and only replacing the file represented by fileHandle with the temporary file when the writable filestream is closed.
If keepExistingData
is false
or not specified,
the temporary file starts out empty,
otherwise the existing file is first copied to this temporary file.
There has been some discussion around and desire for a "inPlace" mode for createWritable (where changes will be written to the actual underlying file as they are written to the writer, for example to support in-place modification of large files or things like databases). This is not currently implemented in Chrome. Implementing this is currently blocked on figuring out how to combine the desire to run malware checks with the desire to let websites make fast in-place modifications to existing large files. [Issue #67]
createWritable(options)
method, when invoked, must run these steps:
-
Let result be a new promise.
-
Run the following steps in parallel:
-
Let permissionStatus be the result of requesting file system permission given this and
"readwrite"
. If that throws an exception, reject result with that exception and abort. -
If permissionStatus is not
"granted"
, reject result with aNotAllowedError
and abort. -
Let stream be the result of creating a new FileSystemWritableFileStream for entry in this’s relevant realm.
-
If options.
keepExistingData
istrue
:-
Set stream.[[buffer]] to a copy of entry’s binary data.
-
-
Resolve result with stream.
-
-
Return result.
2.5. The FileSystemDirectoryHandle
interface
dictionaryFileSystemGetFileOptions
{ booleancreate
= false; }; dictionaryFileSystemGetDirectoryOptions
{ booleancreate
= false; }; dictionaryFileSystemRemoveOptions
{ booleanrecursive
= false; }; [Exposed=(Window,Worker), SecureContext, Serializable] interfaceFileSystemDirectoryHandle
: FileSystemHandle { async iterable<USVString, FileSystemHandle>; Promise<FileSystemFileHandle> getFileHandle(USVStringname
, optional FileSystemGetFileOptionsoptions
= {}); Promise<FileSystemDirectoryHandle> getDirectoryHandle(USVStringname
, optional FileSystemGetDirectoryOptionsoptions
= {}); Promise<undefined> removeEntry(USVStringname
, optional FileSystemRemoveOptionsoptions
= {}); Promise<sequence<USVString>?> resolve(FileSystemHandlepossibleDescendant
); };
A FileSystemDirectoryHandle
's associated entry must be a directory entry.
FileSystemDirectoryHandle
objects are serializable objects. Their serialization steps and deserialization steps are the same as those for FileSystemHandle
.
In the Origin Trial as available in Chrome 78, these objects are not yet serializable. In Chrome 82 they are.
In Chrome versions upto Chrome 85 getFileHandle
and getDirectoryHandle
where
called getFile
and getDirectory
instead.
2.5.1. Directory iteration
Iterates over all entries whose parent is the entry represented by directoryHandle. Entries that are created or deleted while the iteration is in progress might or might not be included. No guarantees are given either way.
In Chrome this is currently implemented as a directoryHandle.getEntries()
method that can be used in a for await..of
loop.
This getEntries()
method returns more or less the same async iterable as what is returned by values()
in this specification.
The proper async iterable declaration is not yet implemented.
In the future we might want to add arguments to the async iterable declaration to support for example recursive iteration. [Issue #173]
FileSystemDirectoryHandle
handle ant its async iterator iterator are:
-
Let permissionStatus be the result of querying file system permission given handle and
"read"
. -
If permissionStatus is not
"granted"
, throw aNotAllowedError
. -
Set iterator’s past results to an empty set.
FileSystemDirectoryHandle
handle and its async iterator iterator:
-
Let promise be a new promise.
-
Let directory be handle’s entry.
-
Let permissionStatus be the result of querying file system permission given handle and
"read"
. -
If permissionStatus is not
"granted"
, reject promise with aNotAllowedError
and return promise. -
Let child be an entry in directory’s children, such that child’s name is not contained in iterator’s past results, or
null
if no such entry exists.Note: This is intentionally very vague about the iteration order. Different platforms and file systems provide different guarantees about iteration order, and we want it to be possible to efficiently implement this on all platforms. As such no guarantees are given about the exact order in which elements are returned.
-
If child is
null
, then:-
Resolve promise with
undefined
.
-
-
Otherwise:
-
Append child’s name to iterator’s past results.
-
If child is a file entry:
-
Let result be a new
FileSystemFileHandle
associated with child.
-
-
Otherwise:
-
Let result be a new
FileSystemDirectoryHandle
associated with child.
-
-
-
Return promise.
2.5.2. The getFileHandle()
method
getFileHandle
(name)
fileHandle = await directoryHandle . getFileHandle
(name, { create
: false })
Returns a handle for a file named name in the directory represented by directoryHandle. If no such file exists, this rejects.
fileHandle = await directoryHandle .getFileHandle
(name, { create
: true })
Returns a handle for a file named name in the directory represented by directoryHandle. If no such file exists, this creates a new file. If no file with named name can be created this rejects. Creation can fail because there already is a directory with the same name, because the name uses characters that aren’t supported in file names on the underlying file system, or because the user agent for security reasons decided not to allow creation of the file.
This operation requires write permission, even if the file being returned already exists. If
this handle doesn’t already have write permission, this could result in a prompt being shown to
the user. To get an existing file without needing write permission, call this method
with {
.create
: false }
getFileHandle(name, options)
method, when invoked,
must run these steps:
-
Let result be a new promise.
-
Run the following steps in parallel:
-
If name is not a valid file name, reject result with a
TypeError
and abort. -
If options.

Better specify what possible exceptions this could throw. [Issue #68]
-
Resolve result with a new
FileSystemFileHandle
whose entry is child.
-
-
Return result.
2.5.3. The getDirectoryHandle()
method
getDirectoryHandle
(name)
subdirHandle = await directoryHandle . getDirectoryHandle
(name, { create
: false })
Returns a handle for a directory named name in the directory represented by directoryHandle. If no such directory exists, this rejects.
subdirHandle = await directoryHandle .getDirectoryHandle
(name, { create
: true })
Returns a handle for a directory named name in the directory represented by directoryHandle. If no such directory exists, this creates a new directory. If creating the directory failed, this rejects. Creation can fail because there already is a file with the same name, or because the name uses characters that aren’t supported in file names on the underlying file system.
This operation requires write permission, even if the directory being returned already exists.
If this handle doesn’t already have write permission, this could result in a prompt being shown
to the user. To get an existing directory without needing write permission, call this method
with {
.create
: false }
getDirectoryHandle(name, options)
method, when
invoked, must run these steps:
-
Let result be a new promise.

whose entry is child.
-
-
Return result.
2.5.4. The removeEntry()
method
removeEntry
(name)
await directoryHandle . removeEntry
(name, { recursive
: false })
If the directory represented by directoryHandle contains a file named name, or an empty directory named name, this will attempt to delete that file or directory.
Attempting to delete a file or directory that does not exist is considered success, while attempting to delete a non-empty directory will result in a promise rejection.
await directoryHandle .removeEntry
(name, { recursive
: true })
Removes the entry named name in the directory represented by directoryHandle. If that entry is a directory, its contents will also be deleted recursively. recursively.
Attempting to delete a file or directory that does not exist is considered success.
removeEntry(name, options)
method, when invoked, must run
these steps:
-
Let result be a new promise.
-
Run the following steps in parallel:
-
If name is not a valid file name, reject result with a
TypeError
and abort. -
Let permissionStatus be the result of requesting file system permission given this and
"readwrite"
. If that throws an exception, reject result with that exception and abort. -
If permissionStatus is not
"granted"
, reject result with aNotAllowedError
and abort. -
For each child of entry’s children:
-
If child’s name equals name:
-
If child is a directory entry:
-
If removing child in the underlying file system throws an exception, reject result with that exception and abort.
Note: If

, the removal can fail non-atomically. Some files or directories might have been removed while other files or directories still exist.Better specify what possible exceptions this could throw. [Issue #68]
-
Resolve result with
undefined
.
-
-
-
Reject result with a
NotFoundError
.
-
-
Return result.
2.5.5. The resolve()
method
resolve
( child )
If child is equal to directory, path will be an empty array.
If child is a direct child of directory, path will be an array containing child’s name.
If child is a descendant of directory, path will be an array containing the names of
all the intermediate directories and child’s name as last element.
For example if directory represents /home/user/project
and child represents /home/user/project/foo/bar
, this will return ['foo', 'bar']
.
Otherwise (directory and child are not related), path will be null.
This functionality can be useful if a web application shows a directory listing to highlight a file opened through a file picker in that directory listing.
This method is first available in Chrome 82.
// Assume we at some point got a valid directory handle. const dir_ref = current_project_dir; if (!dir_ref) return; // Now get a file reference by showing a file picker: const file_ref = await self.showOpenFilePicker(); if (!file_ref) { // User cancelled, or otherwise failed to open a file. return; } // Check if file_ref exists inside dir_ref: const relative_path = await dir_ref.resolve(file_ref); if (relative_path === null) { // Not inside dir_ref } else { // relative_path is an array of names, giving the relative path // from dir_ref to the file that is represented by file_ref: assert relative_path.pop() === file_ref.name; let entry = dir_ref; for (const name of relative_path) { entry = await entry.getDirectory(name); } entry = await entry.getFile(file_ref.name); // Now |entry| will represent the same file on disk as |file_ref|. assert await entry.isSameEntry(file_ref) === true; }
resolve(possibleDescendant)
method,
when invoked, must return the result of resolving possibleDescendant’s entry relative to this's entry. 2.6. The FileSystemWritableFileStream
interface
enumWriteCommandType
{"write"
,"seek"
,"truncate"
, }; dictionaryWriteParams
{ required WriteCommandTypetype
; unsigned long long?size
; unsigned long long?position
; (BufferSource or Blob or USVString)?data
; }; typedef (BufferSource or Blob or USVString or WriteParams)FileSystemWriteChunkType
; [Exposed=(Window,Worker), SecureContext] interfaceFileSystemWritableFileStream
: WritableStream { Promise<undefined> write(FileSystemWriteChunkTypedata
); Promise<undefined> seek(unsigned long longposition
); Promise<undefined> truncate(unsigned long longsize
); };
A FileSystemWritableFileStream
has an associated [[file]] (a file entry).
A FileSystemWritableFileStream
has an associated [[buffer]] (a byte sequence).
It is initially empty.
Note: This buffer can get arbitrarily large, so it is expected that implementations will not keep this in memory, but instead use a temporary file for this. All access to [[buffer]] is done in promise returning methods and algorithms, so even though operations on it seem sync, implementations can implement them async.
A FileSystemWritableFileStream
has an associated [[seekOffset]] (a number).
It is initially 0.
FileSystemWritableFileStream
object is a WritableStream
object with additional
convenience methods, which operates on a single file on disk.
Upon creation, an underlying sink will have been created and the stream will be usable. All operations executed on the stream are queuable and producers will be able to respond to backpressure.
The underlying sink’s write method, and therefore WritableStreamDefaultWriter’s write()
method, will accept byte-like data or WriteParams
as input.
The FileSystemWritableFileStream
has a file position cursor initialized at byte offset 0 from the top of the file.
When using write()
or by using WritableStream capabilities through the WritableStreamDefaultWriter’s write()
method, this position will be advanced based on the number of bytes written through the stream object.
Similarly, when piping a ReadableStream
into a FileSystemWritableFileStream
object, this position is updated with the number of bytes that passed through the stream.
getWriter()
returns an instance of WritableStreamDefaultWriter
.
-
Let stream be a new
FileSystemWritableFileStream
in realm. -
Set stream.[[file]] to file.
-
Let writeAlgorithm be an algorithm which takes a chunk argument and returns the result of running the write a chunk algorithm with stream and chunk.
-
Let closeAlgorithm be the following steps:
-
Let closeResult be a new promise.
-
Run the following steps in parallel:
-
Let permissionStatus be the permission state for a
FileSystemPermissionDescriptor
withhandle
representing stream.[[file]], andmode
="readwrite"
. -
If permissionStatus is not
"granted"
, reject closeResult with aNotAllowedError
and abort. -
Perform user agent-specific malware scans and safe browsing checks. If these checks fail, reject closeResult with an

2.6.1. The write()
method
write
(data)
await stream . write
({ type
: "write"
, data
: data })
Writes the content of data into the file associated with stream at the current file cursor offset.
No changes are written to the actual file on disk until the stream has been closed. Changes are typically written to a temporary file instead.
await stream .write
({ type
: "write"
, position
: position, data
: data })
Writes the content of data into the file associated with stream at position bytes from the top of the file. Also updates the current file cursor offset to the end of the written data.
No changes are written to the actual file on disk until the stream has been closed. Changes are typically written to a temporary file instead.
await stream .write
({ type
: "seek"
, position
: position })
Updates the current file cursor offset the position bytes from the top of the file.
await stream .write
({ type
: "truncate"
, size
: size })
Resizes the file associated with stream to be size bytes long. If size is larger than the current file size this pads the file with null bytes, otherwise it truncates the file.
The file cursor is updated when truncate
is called. If the offset is smaller than offset,
it remains unchanged. If the offset is larger than size, the offset is set to size to
ensure that subsequent writes do not error.
No changes are written to the actual file until on disk until the stream has been closed. Changes are typically written to a temporary file instead.

Return result.
2.6.2. The seek()
method
seek
(position)
Updates the current file cursor offset the position bytes from the top of the file.

steps:
-
Let writer be the result of getting a writer for this.
-
Let result be the result of writing a chunk to writer given «[ "

Return result.
2.6.3. The truncate()
method
truncate
(size)
Resizes the file associated with stream to be size bytes long. If size is larger than the current file size this pads the file with null bytes, otherwise it truncates the file.
The file cursor is updated when truncate
is called. If the offset is smaller than offset,
it remains unchanged. If the offset is larger than size, the offset is set to size to
ensure that subsequent writes do not error.
No changes are written to the actual file until on disk until the stream has been closed. Changes are typically written to a temporary file instead.

3. Accessing Local File System
enum WellKnownDirectory { "desktop", "documents", "downloads", "music", "pictures", "videos", }; typedef (WellKnownDirectory or FileSystemHandle)StartInDirectory
; dictionaryFilePickerAcceptType
{ USVStringdescription
; record<USVString, (USVString or sequence<USVString>)>accept
; }; dictionaryFilePickerOptions
{ sequence<FilePickerAcceptType>types
; booleanexcludeAcceptAllOption
= false; DOMStringid
; StartInDirectorystartIn
; }; dictionaryOpenFilePickerOptions
: FilePickerOptions { booleanmultiple
= false; }; dictionarySaveFilePickerOptions
: FilePickerOptions { USVString?suggestedName
; }; dictionaryDirectoryPickerOptions
{ DOMStringid
; StartInDirectorystartIn
; }; [SecureContext] partial interface Window { Promise<sequence<FileSystemFileHandle>> showOpenFilePicker(optional OpenFilePickerOptionsoptions
= {}); Promise<FileSystemFileHandle> showSaveFilePicker(optional SaveFilePickerOptionsoptions
= {}); Promise<FileSystemDirectoryHandle> showDirectoryPicker(optional DirectoryPickerOptionsoptions
= {}); };
The showOpenFilePicker()
, showSaveFilePicker()
and showDirectoryPicker()
methods
are together known as the local file system handle factories.
Note: What is referred to as the "local file system" in this spec, does not have to strictly refer to the file system on the local device. What we call the local file system could just as well be backed by a cloud provider. For example on Chrome OS these file pickers will also let you pick files and directories on Google Drive.
In Chrome versions earlier than 85, this was implemented as a generic chooseFileSystemEntries
method.
3.1. Local File System Permissions
The fact that the user picked the specific files returned by the local file system handle factories in a prompt
should be treated by the user agent as the user intending to grant read access to the website
for the returned files. As such, at the time the promise returned by one of the local file system handle factories resolves, permission state for a descriptor with handle
set to the returned handle,
and mode
set to "read"
should be "granted"
.
Additionally for calls to showSaveFilePicker
the permission state for a descriptor with handle
set to the returned handle,
and mode
set to readwrite
should be "granted"
.
3.2. File picker options
3.2.1. Accepted file types
showOpenFilePicker(options)
and showSaveFilePicker(options)
methods accept a FilePickerOptions
argument, which lets the website specify the types of files
the file picker will let the user select.
Each entry in types
specifies a single user selectable option
for filtering the files displayed in the file picker.
Each option consists of an optional description
and a number of MIME types and extensions (specified as a mapping of
MIME type to a list of extensions). If no description is provided one will be generated.
Extensions have to be strings that start with a "." and only contain valid suffix code points.
Additionally extensions are limited to a length of 16 code points.
In addition to complete MIME types, "*" can be used as the subtype of a MIME type to match for example all image formats with "image/*".
Websites should always provide both MIME types and file extensions for each option. On platforms that only use file extensions to describe file types user agents can match on the extensions, while on platforms that don’t use extensions, user agents can match on MIME type.
By default the file picker will also include an option to not apply any filter,
letting the user select any file. Set excludeAcceptAllOption
to true
to not
include this option in the file picker.
For example , the following options will let the user pick one of three different filters. One for text files (either plain text or HTML), one for images, and a third one that doesn’t apply any filter and lets the user select any file.
const options = {types
: [ {description
: 'Text Files',accept
: { 'text/plain': ['.txt', '.text'], 'text/html': ['.html', '.htm'] } }, {description
: 'Images',accept
: { 'image/*': ['.png', '.gif', '.jpeg', '.jpg'] } } ], };
On the other hand, the following example will only let the user select SVG files. The dialog will not show an option to not apply any filters.
const options = {types
: [ {accept
: { 'image/svg+xml': '.svg' } }, ],excludeAcceptAllOption
: true };
FilePickerOptions
options,
run these steps:
-
For each type of options.
types
:-
Let description be type.
description
. -
For each typeString → suffixes of type.
accept
:-
Let parsedType be the result of parse a MIME type with typeString.
-
If parsedType is failure, throw a
TypeError
. -
If parsedType’s parameters are not empty, throw a
TypeError
. -
If suffixes is a string:
-
Validate a suffix given suffixes.
-
-
Otherwise, for each suffix of suffixes:
-
Validate a suffix given suffix.
-
-
-
Let filter be the following steps, given a filename (a string), and a type (a MIME type):
-
Let parsedType be the result of parse a MIME type with typeString.
-
Return
false
.
-
If description is an empty string, set description to some user understandable string describing filter.
-
Append description/filter to accepts options.
-
-
If either accepts options is empty, or options.
excludeAcceptAllOption
isfalse
:-
Let description be a user understandable string describing "all files".
-
Let filter be an algorithm that returns
true
. -
Append description/filter to accepts options.
-
-
-
If accepts options is empty, throw a
TypeError
. -
Return accepts options.
-
If suffix does not start with ".", throw a
TypeError
. -
If suffix contains any code points that are not valid suffix code points, throw a
TypeError
. -
If suffix ends with ".", throw a
TypeError
.
3.2.2. Starting Directory
id
and startIn
fields can be specified to suggest
the directory in which the file picker opens.
If neither of these options are specified, the user agent remembers the last directory a file
or directory was picked from, and new pickers will start out in that directory. By specifying an id
the user agent can remember different directories for different IDs
(user agents will only remember directories for a limited number of IDs).
// If a mapping exists from this ID to a previousy picked directory, start in
// this directory. Otherwise, a mapping will be created from this ID to the
// directory of the resulting file picker invocation.
const options = {
id
: 'foo',
};
Specifying startIn
as a FileSystemFileHandle
will result in the dialog
starting in the parent directory of that file, while passing in a FileSystemDirectoryHandle
will result in the dialog to start in the passed in directory. These take precedence even if
an explicit id
is also passed in.
For example, given a FileSystemDirectoryHandle
project_dir, the following will show
a file picker that starts out in that directory:
// The picker will open to the directory of |project_dir| regardless of whether // 'foo' has a valid mapping. const options = {id
: 'foo',startIn
: |project_dir|, };
The id
and startIn
fields control only
the directory the picker opens to. In the above example, it cannot be assumed that
the id
'foo' will map to the same directory as project_dir once the file picker operation has completed.
Specifying startIn
as a WellKnownDirectory
will result in the dialog
starting in that directory, unless an explicit id
was also passed
in which has a mapping to a valid directory.
Below is an example of specifying both an id
and startIn
as a WellKnownDirectory
. If there is an existing
mapping from the given ID to a path, this mapping is used. Otherwise, the path suggested
via the WellKnownDirectory
is used.
// First time specifying the ID 'foo'. It is not mapped to a directory. // The file picker will fall back to opening to the Downloads directory. TODO: link this. const options = {id
: 'foo', // Unmapped.startIn
:"downloads"
, // Start here. }; // Later... // The ID 'foo' might or might not be mapped. For example, the mapping for this ID // might have been evicted. const options = {id
: 'foo', // Maybe mapped. If so, start here.startIn
:"downloads"
, // Otherwise, start here. };
The startIn
and id
options were first introduced in Chrome 91.
A user agent holds a recently picked directory map, which is a map of origins to path id maps.
A path id map is a map of valid path ids to paths.
A valid path id is a string where each character is ASCII alphanumeric or "_" or "-".
To prevent a path id map from growing without a bound, user agents should implement some mechanism to limit how many recently picked directories will be remembered. This can for example be done by evicting least recently used entries. User agents should allow at least 16 entries to be stored in a path id map.
The WellKnownDirectory
enum lets a website pick one of several well-known
directories. The exact paths the various values of this enum map to is implementation-defined (and in some cases these might not even represent actual paths on disk).
The following list describes the meaning of each of the values, and gives possible example paths on different operating systems:
"desktop"
The user’s Desktop directory, if such a thing exists. For example this could be C:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop
, /Users/username/Desktop
, or /home/username/Desktop
.
"documents"
Directory in which documents created by the user would typically be stored.
For example C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents
, /Users/username/Documents
, or /home/username/Documents
.
"downloads"
Directory where downloaded files would typically be stored.
For example C:\Documents and Settings\username\Downloads
, /Users/username/Downloads
, or /home/username/Downloads
.
"music"
Directory where audio files would typically be stored.
For example C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music
, /Users/username/Music
, or /home/username/Music
.
"pictures"
Directory where photos and other still images would typically be stored.
For example C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Pictures
, /Users/username/Pictures
, or /home/username/Pictures
.
"videos"
Directory where videos/movies would typically be stored.
For example C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Videos
, /Users/username/Movies
, or /home/username/Videos
.
StartInDirectory
startIn and an environment settings object environment,
run the following steps:
-
If id given, and is not a valid path id, throw a
TypeError
. -
Let origin be environment’s origin.
-
If startIn is a
FileSystemHandle
:-
Let entry be startIn’s entry.
-
If entry does not represent an entry in an origin private file system:
-
If entry is a file entry, and a path on the local file system corresponding to the parent directory if entry can be determined, then return that path.
-
If entry is a directory entry, and a path on the local file system corresponding to entry can be determined, then return that path.
-
-
-
If id is non-empty:
-
If recently picked directory map[origin] exists:
-
Let path map be recently picked directory map[origin].
-
If path map[id] exists, then return path map[id].
-
-
-
If startIn is a
WellKnownDirectory
:-
Return a user agent defined path corresponding to the
WellKnownDirectory
value of startIn.
-
-
If id is not specified, or is an empty string:
-
If recently picked directory map[origin] exists:
-
Let path map be recently picked directory map[origin].
-
If path map[""] exists, then return path map[""].
-
-
-
Return a default path in a user agent specific manner.
-
Let origin be environment’s origin.
-
If recently picked directory map[origin] does not exist, then set recently picked directory map[origin] to an empty path id map.
-
If id is not specified, let id be an empty string.
-
Set recently picked directory map[origin][id] to the path on the local file system corresponding to entry, if such a path can be determined.
3.3. The showOpenFilePicker()
method
showOpenFilePicker()
[ handle ] = await window . showOpenFilePicker
({ multiple
: false })
Shows a file picker that lets a user select a single existing file, returning a handle for the selected file.
handles = await window .showOpenFilePicker
({ multiple
: true })
Shows a file picker that lets a user select multiple existing files, returning handles for the selected files.
Additional options can be passed to showOpenFilePicker()
to indicate the types of files
the website wants the user to select and the directory in which the
file picker will open. See § 3.2 File picker options for details.
showOpenFilePicker(options)
method, when invoked, must run
these steps:
-
Let environment be this’s relevant settings object.
-
Let accepts options be the result of processing accept types given options.
-
Let starting directory be the result of determining the directory the picker will start in given options.

Resolve p with result.
-
-
Return p.
3.4. The showSaveFilePicker()
method
showSaveFilePicker
( options )
Shows a file picker that lets a user select a single file, returning a handle for the selected file. The selected file does not have to exist already. If the selected file does not exist a new empty file is created before this method returns, otherwise the existing file is cleared before this method returned.
handle = await window .showSaveFilePicker
({ suggestedName
: "README.md" })
Shows a file picker with the suggested "README.md" file name pre-filled as the default file name to save as.
Additional options can be passed to showSaveFilePicker()
to indicate the types of files
the website wants the user to select and the directory in which the
file picker will open. See § 3.2 File picker options for details.
The suggestedName
option was first introduced in Chrome 91.
showSaveFilePicker(options)
method, when invoked, must run
these steps:
-
Let environment be this’s relevant settings object.
-
Let accepts options be the result of processing accept types given options.
-
Let starting directory be the result of determining the directory the picker will start in given options.
id
, options.startIn
and environment. -
Let global be environment’s global object.
-
Verify that environment is allowed to show a file picker.
-
Let p be a new promise.
-
Run the following steps in parallel:
-
Optionally, wait until any prior execution of this algorithm has terminated.
-
Display a prompt to the user requesting that the user pick exactly one file. The displayed prompt should let the user pick one of the accepts options to filter the list of displayed files. Exactly how this is implemented, and what this prompt looks like is implementation-defined. If accepts options are displayed in the UI, the selected option should also be used to suggest an extension to append to a user provided file name, but this is not required. In particular user agents are free to ignore potentially dangerous suffixes such as those ending in
".lnk"
or".local"
.When possible, this prompt should start out showing starting directory.
If options.
suggestedName
is specified and not null, the file picker prompt will be pre-filled with the options.suggestedName
as the default name to save as. The interaction between thesuggestedName
and accepts options is implementation-defined. If thesuggestedName
is deemed too dangerous, user agents should ignore or sanitize the suggested file name, similar to the sanitization done when fetching something as a download.Note: A user agent could for example pick whichever option in accepts options that matches
suggestedName
as the default filter. -
Wait for the user to have made their selection.
-
If the user dismissed the prompt without making a selection, reject p with an
AbortError
and abort. -
Let entry be a file entry representing the selected file.
-
If entry is deemed too sensitive or dangerous to be exposed to this website by the user agent:

3.5. The showDirectoryPicker()
method
showDirectoryPicker()
Shows a directory picker that lets the user select a single directory, returning a handle for the selected directory.
The id

fields behave
identically to the id
and startIn
fields, respectively.
See § 3.2.2 Starting Directory for details on how to use these fields.

Resolve p with result.
-
-
Return p.
3.6. Drag and Drop
partial interface DataTransferItem { Promise<FileSystemHandle?> getAsFileSystemHandle(); };
During a drag-and-drop operation, dragged file and directory items are associated with file entries and directory entries respectively.
getAsFileSystemHandle()
Returns a FileSystemFileHandle
object if the dragged item is a file and a FileSystemDirectoryHandle
object if the dragged item is a directory.
The getAsFileSystemHandle()
method steps are:
-
If the
DataTransferItem
object is not in the read/write mode or the read-only mode, return a promise resolved withnull
. -
If the the drag data item kind is not File, then return a promise resolved with
null
. -
Let p be a new promise.
-
Run the following steps in parallel:
-
Let entry be the entry representing the dragged file or directory.
-
If entry is a file entry:
-
Let handle be a
FileSystemFileHandle
associated with entry.
-
-
Else if entry is a directory entry:
-
Let handle be a
FileSystemDirectoryHandle
associated with entry.
-
-
Resolve p with entry.
-
-
Return p.
elem.addEventListener('dragover', (e) => { // Prevent navigation. e.preventDefault(); }); elem.addEventListener('drop', async (e) => { e.preventDefault(); const fileHandlesPromises = [...e.dataTransfer.items] .filter(item => item.kind === 'file') .map(item => item.getAsFileSystemHandle()); for await (const handle of fileHandlesPromises) { if (handle.kind === 'directory') { console.log(<code data-opaque bs-autolink-syntax='`Directory: ${handle.name}`'>Directory: ${handle.name}</code>); } else { console.log(<code data-opaque bs-autolink-syntax='`File: ${handle.name}`'>File: ${handle.name}</code>); } } });
This currently does not block access to too sensitive or dangerous directories, to be consistent with other APIs that give access to dropped files and directories. This is inconsistent with the local file system handle factories though, so we might want to reconsider this.
4. Accessing the Origin Private File System
The origin private file system is a storage endpoint whose identifier is "fileSystem"
, types are « "local" »
,
and quota is null.
Storage endpoints should be defined in [storage] itself, rather than being defined here. So merge this into the table there.
Note: While user agents will typically implement this by persisting the contents of this origin private file system to disk, it is not intended that the contents are easily user accessible. Similarly there is no expectation that files or directories with names matching the names of children of the origin private file system exist.
[SecureContext] partial interface StorageManager { Promise<FileSystemDirectoryHandle> getDirectory(); };
In Chrome this functionality was previously exposed as FileSystemDirectoryHandle.getSystemDirectory({type: "sandbox"})
.
This new method is available as of Chrome 85.
getDirectory()
Returns the root directory of the origin private file system.
getDirectory()
method, when
invoked, must run these steps:
-
Let environment be the current settings object.
-
Let map be the result of running obtain a local storage bottle map with environment and
"fileSystem"
. If this returns failure, return a promise rejected with aSecurityError
. -
If map["root"] does not exist:
-
Let dir be a new directory entry.
-
Set dir’s name to
""
. -
Set map["root"] to dir.
-
-
Return a promise resolved with a new
FileSystemDirectoryHandle
, whose associated entry is map["root"].
Note: In Chrome the directory entry returned by the above algorithm refers to the same storage as the temporary file system as used to be defined in File API: Directories and System.
5. Accessibility Considerations
This section is non-normative.
When this specification is used to present information in the user interface, implementors will want to follow the OS level accessibility guidelines for the platform.
6. Privacy Considerations
This section is non-normative.
This API does not give websites any more read access to data than the existing <input type=file>
and <input type=file webkitdirectory>
APIs already do. Furthermore similarly to those APIs, all
access to files and directories is explicitly gated behind a file or directory picker.
There are however several major privacy risks with this new API:
6.1. Users giving access to more, or more sensitive files than they intended.
This isn’t a new risk with this API, but user agents should try to make sure that users are aware of what exactly they’re giving websites access to. This is particularly important when giving access to a directory, where it might not be immediately clear to a user just how many files actually exist in that directory.
A related risk is having a user give access to particularly sensitive data. This could include some of a user agent’s configuration data, network cache or cookie store, or operating system configuration data such as password files. To protect against this, user agents are encouraged to restrict which directories a user is allowed to select in a directory picker, and potentially even restrict which files the user is allowed to select. This will make it much harder to accidentally give access to a directory that contains particularly sensitive data. Care must be taken to strike the right balance between restricting what the API can access while still having the API be useful. After all, this API intentionally lets the user use websites to interact with some of their most private personal data.
Examples of directories that user agents might want to restrict as being too sensitive or dangerous include:
-
The directory or directories containing the user agent itself.
-
Directories where the user agent stores website storage.
-
Directories containing system files (such as
C:\Windows
on Windows). -
Directories such as
/dev/
,/sys
, and/proc
on Linux that would give access to low-level devices. -
A user’s entire "home" directory. Individual files and directories inside the home directory should still be allowed, but user agents should not generally let users give blanket access to the entire directory.
-
The default directory for downloads, if the user agent has such a thing. Individual files inside the directory again should be allowed, but the whole directory would risk leaking more data than a user realizes.
-
Files with names that end in
.lnk
, when selecting a file to write to. Writing to these files on Windows is similar to creating symlinks on other operating systems, and as such can be used to attempt to trick users into giving access to files they didn’t intend to expose. -
Files with names that end in
.local
, when selecting a file to write to. Windows uses these files to decide what DLLs to load, and as such writing to these files could be used to cause code to be executed.
6.2. Websites trying to use this API for tracking.
This API could be used by websites to track the user across clearing browsing data. This is because, in contrast with existing file access APIs, user agents are able to grant persistent access to files or directories and can re-prompt. In combination with the ability to write to files, websites will be able to persist an identifier on the users' disk. Clearing browsing data will not affect those files in any way, making these identifiers persist through those actions.
This risk is somewhat mitigated by the fact that clearing browsing data will clear all handles that a website had persisted (for example in IndexedDB), so websites won’t have any handles to re-prompt for permission after browsing data was cleared. Furthermore user agents are encouraged to make it clear what files and directories a website has access to, and to automatically expire permission grants except for particularly well trusted origins (for example persistent permissions could be limited to "installed" web applications).
User agents also are encouraged to provide a way for users to revoke permissions granted. Clearing browsing data is expected to revoke all permissions as well.
6.3. First-party vs third-party contexts.
In third-party contexts (e.g. an iframe whose origin does not match that of the top-level frame)
websites can’t gain access to data they don’t already have access to. This includes both getting
access to new files or directories via the local file system handle factories, as well as requesting
more permissions to existing handles via the requestPermission
API.
Handles can also only be post-messaged to same-origin destinations. Attempts to send a handle to
a cross-origin destination will result in a messageerror
event.
7. Security Considerations
This section is non-normative.
This API gives websites the ability to modify existing files on disk, as well as write to new files. This has a couple of important security considerations:
7.1. Malware
This API could be used by websites to try to store and/or execute malware on the users system. To mitigate this risk, this API does not provide any way to mark files as executable (on the other hand files that are already executable likely remain that way, even after the files are modified through this API). Furthermore user agents are encouraged to apply things like Mark-of-the-Web to files created or modified by this API.
Finally, user agents are encouraged to verify the contents of files modified by this API via malware scans and safe browsing checks, unless some kind of external strong trust relation already exists. This of course has effects on the performance characteristics of this API.
7.2. Ransomware attacks
Another risk factor is that of ransomware attacks. The limitations described above regarding blocking access to certain sensitive directories helps limit the damage such an attack can do. Additionally user agents can grant write access to files at whatever granularity they deem appropriate.
7.3. Filling up a users disk
Other than files in the origin private file system, files written by this API are not subject to storage quota. As such websites can fill up a users disk without being limited by quota, which could leave a users device in a bad state (do note that even with storage that is subject to storage quota it is still possible to fill up, or come close to filling up, a users disk, since storage quota in general is not dependent on the amount of available disk space).
Without this API websites can write data to disk not subject to quota limitations already
by triggering downloads of large files (potentially created client side, to not incur any network
overhead). While the presence of truncate()
and writing at a
potentially really large offset past the end of a file makes it much easier and lower cost to
create large files, on most file systems such files should not actually take up as much disk space as
most commonly used file systems support sparse files (and thus wouldn’t actually store the NUL
bytes generated by resizing a file or seeking past the end of it).
Whatever mitigations user agents use to guard against websites filling up a disk via either quota managed storage or the existing downloads mechanism should also be employed when websites use this API to write to disk.
Conformance
Document conventions
Conformance requirements are expressed with a combination of descriptive assertions and RFC 2119 terminology. The key words “MUST”, “MUST NOT”, “REQUIRED”, “SHALL”, “SHALL NOT”, “SHOULD”, “SHOULD NOT”, “RECOMMENDED”, “MAY”, and “OPTIONAL” in the normative parts of this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119. However, for readability, these words do not appear in all uppercase letters in this specification.
All of the text of this specification is normative except sections explicitly marked as non-normative, examples, and notes. [RFC2119]
Examples in this specification are introduced with the words “for example”
or are set apart from the normative text
with class="example"
,
like this:
This is an example of an informative example.
Informative notes begin with the word “Note”
and are set apart from the normative text
with class="note"
,
like this:
Note, this is an informative note.
Conformant Algorithms
Requirements phrased in the imperative as part of algorithms (such as "strip any leading space characters" or "return false and abort these steps") are to be interpreted with the meaning of the key word ("must", "should", "may", etc) used in introducing the algorithm.
Conformance requirements phrased as algorithms or specific steps can be implemented in any manner, so long as the end result is equivalent. In particular, the algorithms defined in this specification are intended to be easy to understand and are not intended to be performant. Implementers are encouraged to optimize.
