The File System Access API (formerly known as the Native File System API and Writable Files API) enables developers to build powerful web apps that interact with files on the user's local device, such as IDEs, photos, video editors, text editors, and more. After a user grants a web app access, this API allows them to read or save changes directly to files and folders on the user's device. Beyond reading and writing files, the File System Access API allows opening a directory and enumerating its contents.
This anti-exploitation policy controls the use of the File System API, which can be potentially exploited.
