You can't manipulate hard drive directly from the browser. What you can do though is create a link that can be downloaded.

To do this change your var newfile = new File([theBlob], "c:files/myfile.jpg"); into:

const a = document.createElement('a');
a.setAttribute('download', "some image name");
a.setAttribute('href', theBlob);

a.click();
