Would you want a website automatically taking files from your system?

MVC is the wrong technology for this, you'll need a scheduled task on the client, or a Windows Service on the client.

In Asp MVC you wont be able to achieve this task. You shall create a simple Console application and add the relevant code to process the file from a desired location,
configure the exe in Task Scheduler [^] to run the job in a periodic manner.

refer these articles to achieve the task
