Access local file path from flask app in heroku server

I have written a simple python flask app which takes two inputs 1) local file path of the user computer 2) folder_name and the result will be creation of a folder named "folder_name" in the mentioned file path. Its working fine when run locally at http://127.0.0.1:5000/ but when its uploaded to heroku at https://tndcrdir.herokuapp.com/ its not working. The createDir.py file is:

from flask import Flask, request, render_template
import os
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
def my_form():
    return render_template('myform.html')

@app.route('/', methods=['POST'])
def my_form_post():
    thepath = request.form['path']
    folder = request.form['thefolder']
    os.mkdir(thepath+'\ ' + folder)
    return folder
if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(debug=True)access

And the templates/myform.html is as under:

<html>
<head>
<title>createFile</title>
</head>
<body>
<form method="POST">
    <p>Enter the Path :</p><input name="path">
    <p>Enter the folder name</p><input name="thefolder">
    <input type="submit" value="Click to create">
</form>

</body>
</html>

Please suggest solution if there is any ?
