Hi Aravind,

The described scenario could be implemented with the help of RadFileExplorer. You could use the approach shown in this live demo by modifying it to select folders instead of files. You could do it in a similar way:

function OnClientFileOpen(sender, args) {
    var item = args.get_item();
    if (item.get_type() != Telerik.Web.UI.FileExplorerItemType.File) {
        args.set_cancel(true);
        var wnd = getRadWindow();
        var openerPage = wnd.BrowserWindow;
        openerPage.OnFileSelected(item.get_path());
        wnd.close();
    }
}

If you want to display only folders inside the FileExplorer control, in the following forum thread you can see how this could be done: Want Users to see Only Folders

Note, that by design FileExplorer (the controls listing the files inside the dialogs) works with virtual paths to folders placed inside the application root. It can be used to list physical directories that resides on the a web server, or on a cloud server or even a file structure stored in a database, but to be able to list these files and / or manipulate them, the web server which is running the website need to have the correct permissions an you will need to implement a custom content provider. You can find useful information in this KB article: Use RadFileExplorer with physical and shared folder's paths

Last but not least, if you want to access paths to folders on a user's PC - I am afraid I have to disappoint you. It is not possible to access user's local hard drive using JavaScript and this is not a restriction of RadFileExplorer but is a general security restriction.
