File Uploads
You can let users attach files to their form submissions using the File Upload element. All uploaded files are automatically virus-scanned before storage. Only administrators and users with the Insert File Uploads permission in Settings can add upload fields.
Always avoid collecting sensitive or personally identifiable information through file uploads.
Upload LimitsLink to this section
Each upload field accepts one file per submission and you can add up to five file upload fields per form.
Set the maximum file size (MB) property to limit how large an uploaded file can be. You can choose between 0.5 and 5 MB per file.
If you reach the five-upload limit, the File Upload element will be disabled in the builder until one is removed.
