It was quasi-deprecated in #38776, though it didn't get a breaking-changes.md callout.

Moved the deletion to 32.x

Release Notes Persisted

Removed nonstandard File.path extension from the Web File API.

Whats replacing : File.path ?
Concrate case : user drag a file and the electron app want to save the new version in the same folder, how to know what's the original folder ?

@Makio64 Check the breaking changes doc: https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/main/docs/breaking-changes.md#removed-filepath

Is it possible to get file paths for all dropped files? I tried with example provided in the above comment:

for (const file of files) {
    const path = webUtils.getPathForFile(file);
    console.log(path);
}

But this method only works when I do:

const file = files[0];

Does this method work only for the first file in the list?

Sounds like some type of bug (or security measure) where it doesn't work when you reassign access via const file? I'd try a normal for loop:

for (let i=0;i<files.length;i++){
  console.log(webUtils.getPathForFile(files[i]))
}

I actually need to handle multi-file eventually and can revisit this if I remember.
