Hi guys, I am trying to make a project which involves an alarm as part of the system, I am implementing this on raspberry-pi using node-red. I want to have an drop down box with list of files from a drive that the user had connected (Eg pen-drive) so that the user can select among those files to be used as ringtone for the Alarm. Is there any simple way to do it? I have already figured out the music playing part.

The above is the flow for the existing implementation, Is there a way to make the dropdown box dynamic to list all the contents of a connected drive and also point audio URL to the connected drive?
