Hi @alt_tush

I don't know if it exactly fits your needs, but here's what I imagined to do.

Cheers,

It's important to note that this type of application will not work in the gallery environment; it will only work if the user has Alteryx Designer installed on the machine and they run it as a local application.

The reason being, unless the directory chosen is a drive which the gallery can actually see (like a share drive), then it won't be able to write the file to the desired location.

For example, if I use a directory to browse to my desktop, Alteryx Server cannot see my desktop, and therefor cannot write the file.
