File Upload

What is the workflow with file uploads?

Since it seems i can't use something like Dropbox, how do i keep my server clean regarding the amount of uploaded files? Is there an automation like "delete file after...." or do i have to delete them manually?

Hello, uploaded files first go to a temporary Fluent Forms folder. After successful submission, they are moved to permanent storage, normally wp-content/uploads/fluentform/. Abandoned temporary files are cleaned automatically through WP-Cron.

In Fluent Forms, permanently deleting an entry through this process also deletes its associated file from the default Fluent Forms upload directory. However, files stored in the WordPress Media Library may require separate Media Library cleanup.

Dropbox is possible, but not natively. A partner development team developed a plugin named 'Cloud Storage Manager', that supports Dropbox, Google Drive, Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2, and OneDrive: https://wordpress.org/plugins/cloud-storage-manager/
