 * 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](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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.
