    Forms - document upload filesize and compression

    Hi everyone

    We have an issue with forms failing due to uploaded documents exceeding the maximum upload file size value in the web.config.

    I know we can increase this value, but that would mean people can upload documents to the media area that are larger than we would like, as the value controls both those things.

    so...

    1 - can these files be compressed anyhow at the point of upload to make them smaller

    or

    2 - can the settings be split to allow different values for forms document uploads and uploads into the media library?

    Any thoughts would be welcome

    Thanks Matt

    Even I have same issue and finding the answer everywhere. this is just to upload file but not know about compression. You can now add a file attachment control in your template, so users are able to attach their own files to your form. The attached files are then encoded and saved with the form data. To add an attachment to a form, you just need to add a new question, and then specify the type of File Upload control. SBCC Pipeline Sign In

    Thank you for your reply.

    Yes we have many forms that allow uploads, the problem is we currently have the maximum cumulative attachment file size limit set to 10mb and some forms have attachments that are larger than this, so the form submission fails.
