Pre Populate File Upload

Is it possible to pre-populate a file upload field?

I have an gravity forms manage a profile with lots of custom fields by having an 'edit profile' that goes is pre-populated with the info, then after submission runs update_post_meta on all the fields. I have a file upload box for the profile photo, and it works with updating the custom profile photo field, but it can't pre-populate with it--so every time a user updates their profile they need to re-upload the photo. Is there a way to pre-populate file uploads?

Here is the code:

GF_profile_photo_actions_filters();
function GF_profile_photo_actions_filters() {
    $_gf_profile_photo_id =  RGFormsModel::get_form_id('Change Profile Photo');
    add_action('gform_after_submission_' . $_gf_profile_photo_id, 'GF_update_profile_photo', 100, 2);
  }

function GF_get_profile_photo_fields ()
{
    $_fields['charter-photo'] = array ( 'gf_index' => '1', 'wp_meta' => 'wpcf-profile-photo' );
    return $_fields;
}

function GF_update_profile_photo ($entry, $form)
{
  global $wpdb;

  $gf_fields = GF_get_profile_photo_fields();

  update_post_meta(2, 'wpcf-profile-photo', sanitize_text_field($entry[$gf_fields['charter-photo']['gf_index']]));

}

My thought was to do a check on the update_post_meta line alongs the lines of: if the entry is blank then exit else update_post_meta

Yes, I think we are. I believe you are saying to pre-populate the original information and rewrite if no change. While I said to leave it blank and only rewrite if it is not-blank. So same result different path.

With that, I could not get the file upload box to prepopulate with my function that worked on normal text boxes:

function GF_prepopulate_profile_photo($form)
  {
 foreach($form["fields"] as &$field){
	if($field["id"] == 1){
		$field["defaultValue"] = get_post_meta(2, 'wpcf-profile-photo', true);
	}
 }
 return $form;
}

Yes, that sounds like it would work perfectly. Do you know how to check a field for data? I have never used a function like that, like if empty {} if data {}
