How do I detect the default download path on a client PC in an asp.net core 3.1 project (c#)?

Question

I would like to get the download path for web browser clients.

Why on earth do you need to know, where users are saving their files? BTW: You can't! — Poul Bak, Dec 06 '21 at 19:23
This would be a huge privacy violation, and would expose sensitive details about users that you don't really need to know, such as their local account name which is probably based on their real name (ie `"C:\users\johnsmith\downloads")`. — user229044, Dec 07 '21 at 01:48

Poul Bak's comment is correct.

As we know, .net core 3.1 webapp just support broswer to access the resource from the webserver. It can't do anything in client side.

If we want to do something on the client side, we can only call it through Javascript under the premise of browser security.
