FileUpload is a GWT widget that wraps the HTML <input type='file'> element. So, just as <input type='file'>, it uses the operating system's open/save dialog.

You can add this functionality by having an upload dialog using a regular file input type and pointing the file-> open button to an event which causes the "browse" button part of that input type to trigger.
