When uploading a photo to a website for a custom gift that the photo goes on, the phone or computer brings up a window to choose the photo you want. Does the website see any of the photos while you are scrolling to the one you want, or is that the devices internal ‘file explorer’ and the website only sees the chosen photo/file after upload?
Thanks!
Probably not. Generally, as you alluded, the computer's file explorer locates the files, you select one and then when you click "submit", or whatever the button is to trigger the upload, then the file is sent to the server.
The "probably" is because you have given zero information about the method used to upload.
Imagine the security implications if a webserver could read all files on a local computer when all you are doing is choosing one.
