File Retention and Management

    Hello, I am using the free version of this plugin currently.

    My question is about file retention after forms are submitted. I know the pro version allows a setting for an automatic deletion but I do not want that to occur given the purpose of the form and processes involved. I would prefer they stay until manually deleted so we can confirm the files are saved in the proper location off of the web server first.

    Is there anywhere to manually manage the files that have been uploaded to remove them from the server through WordPress Admin rather than manually deleting them from the location on the server?

    I know some other form plugins have areas to view a list of all submitted forms/entries and you can delete them that way but I am not seeing anything similar for Contact Form 7, unless I am just missing it?

    This may be more of a request for contact form 7 itself but figured I would mention it as I would assume you could add the functionality if it fits with your goals of this plugin?

    Hello @jonbartlow ,

    Files on free version will also automatically deleted 1 or 2 hours after submission. If “Send as attachment as links” option not checked.

    You cannot manage files that are uploaded via contact form 7, I know there’s a lot plugin out there saving the information (entries) via admin but not the images or files.

    Maybe in the future I can add this feature thanks for this info.

    Regards,
    Glen
