Is the file restriction feature in Webflow capable of actually restricting file uploads, or is it only capable of suggesting specific file types?

The file restriction feature in Webflow is capable of both suggesting specific file types and actually restricting file uploads. This feature allows you to define the types of files that users can upload through file upload fields in forms on your website. Here's how it works:

1. Suggesting specific file types: When setting up a file upload field in Webflow, you can specify the types of files you recommend users to upload. For example, you can suggest that users upload only images (JPEG, PNG, GIF) or specific document formats (PDF, DOCX). This helps guide users in providing the appropriate file types.

2. Restricting file uploads: In addition to suggesting specific file types, Webflow also allows you to restrict the types of files that users can upload. By defining acceptable file types, any attempt to upload unsupported files will be blocked. This ensures that only the allowed file types are accepted and prevents users from uploading potentially harmful or irrelevant files.

To set file restrictions in Webflow, follow these steps:

1. Go to the form on your Webflow project where you want to add file upload fields.
2. Select the file upload field and navigate to the settings panel on the right.
3. In the File Settings section, click on "Allowed File Types."
4. Enter the file extensions (e.g., jpg, png, pdf) of the file types you want to allow. Separate each extension with a comma and without spaces.
5. If needed, you can also set a maximum file size by specifying the value in megabytes. This will limit the size of files users can upload.

Remember to save your changes and publish the site for the file restrictions to take effect.

By utilizing the file restriction feature in Webflow, you can control the types of files that users can upload, ensuring compatibility with your site and maintaining security.
