Hi Laura,

Your post is simple and easy. I'm working with appium library and robot framework to automate a windows application. I'm facing problems with file browsing window. I'm trying to upload a file from local directory to the windows application which is also on the same machine. I used Input text and the file name, this does nothing . Do you have an idea how I can upload a file to the windows application?

Hi! I have no idea if Appium can access those dialogs (in other words, it might be possible). If you can not do file upload using Appium, this library should be able to do it: github.com/nokia/robotframework-au...

Thanks Laura, I've tried AutoIT, it works like a charm. May I ask your advice related to appium/robot framework in case I have questions in the future?

Feel free to! Also (Robot Framework Slack)[robotframework-slack-invite.heroku...] is a very good place for questions :-)
