Description

Hello,

First thank you for this great package. It was really useful to me in building a graphical user interface inside my own package. On user asked me if it was possible to add ability to type the file path in the shinyFiles file access to gain time ? It might be on good improvement of the existing file access engine.

Have a nice day,

Sylvain
