Where are customer uploaded files stored?

-
Can customers upload files from their smartphones?
-
Yes, the dropzone is fully touch-optimized. On mobile devices, clicking the dropzone lets users select photos directly from their camera roll or take a new photo instantly.
-
What happens if the customer cancels their cart?
-
Temporary abandoned files are automatically cleaned up on a scheduled daily WP-Cron cycle to save disk space.
-
Is WooCommerce HPOS supported?
