You already have your answer, "I searched solution but for security purpose browser settings done like that."

The browser operates as a sandbox and you have to operate within the boundaries that it enforces. And one of those is not being able to find the path that a user uploads a file from.

They don't. You cannot access this information. I highly doubt that you have a valid reason to know the path where a user uploads a file from on your web site. You should be concerned with the type of file, the size of the file, etc.
