Better Ways of Using InputBox

129 100+
Hi I am currently using an inputbox to input a csv filepath location, as this is a lengthy task and not really good for novice users to use and know of, is it possible to use the windows exlorer.exe and store the filepath once the file has been found?

For example a typical filepath location would be "C:\Users\Braidy\Desktop\VR House\CSV Files\Test1.txt"

This has to entered before the csv file can be imported, it is not a consistent file that i would be using so i can not hardcore the location in.

Anyone have any better ways of doing this?
