There are two ways to handle this as,

Directly pass the file as,

driver.findElement(By.id("elementId")).sendKeys("C:\path\to\your\file");
By using the Robot framework click here.

Use this Method for file handling:

We need:

jacob.jar Download

It will contain one jar file and 2 .dll files

AutoItX4Java.jar Download

public static void uploadFile(String path, String browser){
    
    if(browser.equalsIgnoreCase("chrome")){
    
        if(x.winWaitActive("Open", "", 10)){
            if(x.winExists("Open")){
                x.sleep(500);
                x.send(path);
                x.controlClick("Open", "", "Button2");
                
            }
        }
        
    }
    
    
    if(browser.equalsIgnoreCase("firefox")){
        
        if(x.winWaitActive("File Upload", "", 10)){
            if(x.winExists("File Upload")){
                x.sleep(500);
                x.send(path);
                x.controlClick("File Upload", "", "Button2");
                
            }
        }
    }
    
    if(browser.equalsIgnoreCase("InternetExplorer")){
        
        if(x.winWaitActive("Choose File to Upload", "", 10)){
            if(x.winExists("Choose File to Upload")){
                x.sleep(500);
                x.send(path);
                x.controlClick("Choose File to Upload", "", "Button2");
                
            }
        }
    }
    
    
  
}


   public void test(){
       //Click on the Select button of the file upload
       uploadFile("Path", "chrome");
