Set up multiple file uploads in Contact Form 7

Drag and Drop Multiple File Upload for Contact Form 7 Pro adds a drag-and-drop upload area or file browser to Contact Form 7 forms. You can add multiple upload fields to one form. A progress bar shows upload progress, the layout adapts to mobile, and visitors can remove a file before submitting. Upload text and error messages can be changed in the admin settings.

Which file limits can you set?

Set file type and size rules, including custom types or extensions, and choose a file limit for each field. Pro also lets you set a maximum combined size for all uploaded files and limit simultaneous uploads with parallel-upload controls. Chunked uploads split large files into smaller parts to help avoid timeouts.

Where can files be stored and sent?

Send uploaded files as email attachments, ZIP archives or links. You can also save files to the WordPress Media Library or connect remote storage through OneDrive, Google Drive, Amazon S3, Dropbox or FTP.

Choose a custom upload folder based on a Contact Form 7 field, date and time, a random value, a custom name or dynamic user and post data. User-based folders require the user to be logged in and can use their email or first name. Dynamic folder values can include user name or ID, post ID or slug, and Contact Form 7 fields.

Custom filename patterns can use the original filename, Contact Form 7 field values, IP address, random values, post ID and post slug. Automatic deletion can be set for a period measured in hours, days, weeks or months.

How are uploads validated and displayed?

Validate file types and sizes, including custom extensions. For images, check required width and height and display thumbnail previews. The capability listing identifies picture resizing and optimization as Standard Version Only.

Color settings cover file size, progress bars, filenames and other interface elements. Choose a Dark or Light theme. A duplicate-submission control can disable the submit button to help prevent repeated submissions.

Form entries can be stored in the WordPress admin. The extension is compatible with the listed Contact Form 7 database add-ons: Arshid Database for Contact Form 7, Ninja Advanced Contact Form 7 DB and the Vsourz Digital add-on.

Installation
