For my current use case - a workspace app - I do not want users to see either option highlighted in the attached image and only wish to allow them to drag/drop or upload from their own machine.  I attempted to try multiple file paths and uncheck the ‘Allow URL Path’ option within Form’s user parameter manager, which had no effect on the URL/path option showing, and see no option to disable browsing resources which has been asked about in the past:

For simple file uploads by users not needing to provide a URL or browse Flow resources, I think disabling both should be possible.

@rylanatsafe I believe my idea replicates this one linked below, whilst I also raise the idea of disabling the URL path functionality.  They could be merged as the other has a lot more votes/traction, as well as linking to the original question/enhancement:
