Can we have component restrictions from the alternatives given?

[ameyjoshi]

Hi, I want to know that can we restrict a user from uploading certain types of files or limit the user to upload files only of specified types?. Example - If I only want to show the user the option to upload the file and restrict showing the videos, images, etc.

Hi @ameyjoshi and welcome to the community!

You can find how to accept certain types of files in this help article: “Photo”, “Audio”, “Video” and “File” question types — KoboToolbox documentation

@ameyjoshi, maybe this is something you are searching for that has already been discussed in the community before:

FILE - Specify type of file to load

Hi @Yimi, if you are using the form-builder, have you tried using the Accepted Files option in the question settings? [form-builder] If you are using an XLSForm, you can try adding a column header of body::accept and then the file types you want to accept for the file-type question. type name label required body::accept file upload_a_file Upload a file false .pdf,.csv
