Question Is it possible to find out files uploaded through browser?

[brannsiu]

I mean, for example, I have uploaded a file with Chrome browser, is there any way I can find out what files I have uploaded for a period of time or recently? I mean the file I consciously choose to upload, not the background files or cache etc sending to the server in the background

You can see what you've downloaded, not what you've uploaded, to my knowledge.

No web browser has this feature, and as far as I can find, it's not really possible because the web browser doesn't handle the file upload directly or in a manner that it can track.

While I can't find any explanation detailing exactly how file uploading works that makes tracking this not possible, I believe it may have something to do with the fact that a browsers see the file systems in your computer as any other web protocol for data transfer. For example, if you set your browser to view PDFs within it, you can open a PDF file on your computer with it by typing in the URL something like file://C:/Users/Example/Documents/Foobar.pdf. This is opposed to the usual http://, where "http" is the protocol being used. You can also use ftp:// for certain servers. Also, if you feed the browser a file path to a file it doesn't handle, like say a Doom WAD file, it'll treat it as if you want to download it.

So basically, the web browser treats your local system like a web server, and as far as its concerned, it's only shepherding data between servers.

Why downloading is treated differently probably has to do with the fact that you're technically making a modification to the system, so it has to go through a different hoop which can be tracked.

Google Chrome doesn't - https://support.google.com/chrome/t...e-upload-history-or-file-access-history?hl=en
