Hi,

 

I'm sorting out some guidance on using the File attachment control on a form for our users.

 

I know the default file size is 16MB, but what are the default allowed Filetypes (i.e. .DOC, DOCX etc?

 

There is a blacklist on the website, but i can't find a list of the default filetypes which are ALLOWED to be uploaded

 

Any point me in the direction of where this is mentioned?

 

Thanks

Hi


 


everything you need to know about the file attachments is included in this doc:

Hope it help.

Already looked there, it's pretty vague:

 

"The File Attachment control does not allow uploading of certain types of files, including but not limited to:"

 

That just says the ones that are definitely excluded, but is there a regular default list of allowed ones?


Good day,


 


As thabiso metion the document he provided gives details on File attachment reference.


 


I do not think what files types are allowed is documented  please below screen shot for reference



See below link to blacklist  https://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2smartforms/userguide/4.7/default.htm#SF-ViewControls-FileAttachmentWithProgress.html#


Please below extra detail:
