Answer 1

Try:

• Using CSS_SELECTOR:

  WebDriverWait(navegador, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input.infraInputFile[name='filArquivo']"))).send_keys("/path/to/Doc.pdf")
  

• Using XPATH:

  WebDriverWait(navegador, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//input[@class='infraInputFile' and @name='filArquivo']"))).send_keys("/path/to/Doc.pdf")
  

Answer 2

Try to use full path to file (os.path.abspath)
