  • Here is a solution that uses a library called AngularLoad but takes a little tweaking - http://zacklalanne.com/webapp-over-the-file-protocol-using-angularjs/ – display name Feb 20 '15 at 13:06

You just can't this would mean a big security leak. this would mean you could actually upload any files of some computer to a server.

The only way you can do this is by uploading it trough a file element in html.

HTML5 fileReader does allow you to work with local files,but only trough a file element. So the user select the file themselves

or save the file in local storage instead of on the disc.
