    Hi iMath!

    Thanks for your great work on so BuddyPress projects and plugins.

    I am interested to use this, however I am concerned about security and server storage capacity .

    Security: Can I limit the kinds of files – .pdf, .csv, .xlsx – that users upload? (so I don’t have to worry about .php malware or sql injection)

    Storage: Can you recommend a good file size limit? 1M?

    Thanks!

    Hi @kadymahinder,

    Thanks for your feedback and sorry for my late reply.

    BuddyDrive relies on WordPress built-in allowed mime-types. In the BuddyDrive settings (WordPress Administration > Settings > BuddyDrive) you will find this list of mime-types which are all enabled by default. You can choose to deactivate the ones that you don’t want to allow for your site.

    BuddyDrive also relies on the WordPress max upload file size limit setting. You can also add a more restrictive value for it from the same place.

    See this screenshot :
