You can achieve that using this WordPress function: get_attached_file

$file_id = get_field('file');

$filedir = get_attached_file( $file_id );

Don’t forget to specify the return type of the acf field to ID. Otherwise, just change your code accordingly:

$file_arr = get_field('file');

$filedir = get_attached_file( $file_arr['id'] );
