Setting file types upload restrictions

Administrators can control file types that can be uploaded and block specific file types from being uploaded.

  • Mode - Select how you want to restrict file types

    • Filter off - All file types can be uploaded

    • Allowed file types - Only files that match the extension(s) listed in the File Types text box can be uploaded

      an example file upload that allows only files with png, jpg, and jpeg extensions

    • Blocked file types - Files with extensions listed in the File Types text box will be blocked and fail to upload with an error. You can also block file types with no extension

      an example file upload that blocks files with png, jpg, and jpeg extensions

  • File Types - Enter file type extensions that you want to allow or block. Multiple file types can be separated by comma, semicolon, space, or newline.

Using Antivirus options

MFT scans files up to 250MB; larger files are skipped for performance reasons. This scanning limit can be adjusted based on the environment where the site is deployed. The files remain unavailable for download until scanning is complete.

By default, Deny download of the files until scanned by Antivirus is enabled.

Administrators can globally disable blocking until the file has been scanned by antivirus. If blocking is disabled, files will be available instantly for download but may not have been scanned yet.
