You can use the html attributes for this.
You would give the actual file uploader an id of „example“ and the custom button the attribute „for“ „example“ . Last you can hide the actual file uploader because when you click on your custom button it triggers the file uploader

oh but I forgot to mention, the custom button needs to be a label (tag label) for this to work
file uploader
your custom button:

@needtheanswers @Vizualinx just a heads up on this, the proper way to hide it is with something like:

opacity: 0
position: absolute
z-index: -1

Primary reason being accessibility
Also if you use the input in a form and you use display: none or visibility: hidden it will not submit properly
