File Access in Kiosk Mode

I have a WR21 panel that is running in kiosk mode and connected to a WebIQ visualization hosted on a ctrlX Core. The visualization uses WebIQ's integrated recipe handling, which includes importing and exporting recipe files. This process works fine on the panel's Chromium browser but not in the kiosk mode web viewer. Is this the intended functionality of kiosk mode? I understand the necessity of locking a user out of most OS functionality but I expected file access would be possible, albeit in a more limited manner(maybe just to the 'Downloads' folder?).

If this isn't intended, is there a timeline for adding file IO support for kiosk mode?

Asw webiq-sk explained, kiosk mode is designed to not open any OS features. So your topic is to try to give customer more rights in kiosk mode than he is allowed to have.As it is part of our template for Cartesian handling systems version 1.20 (Release planned for end of the month), you could add a file management on your own into the HMI without using the OS explorer.
