Im new here and currently building my first Drupal website. Im having trouble creating a webform because i cant find the file input option to include in the form. When i googled it, i found that the file input should be available as an element to choose from, but i still cant locate it.
I am using Drupal 10. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help!
To enable file inputs for webform, you have two options:
Enable Allow files to be uploaded to public file system in the elements configuration on /admin/structure/webform/config/elements. Uploaded files will then be stored in the public directory (sites/default/files/SOME_DIRECTORY). Keep in mind that files stored in the public directory are accessible from anyone. If you have sensitive files, it's safer to use a private directory. For more information, see Drupal file upload by anonymous or untrusted users into public file systems -- PSA-2016-003.
Alternatively, configure your private file system. Add the following line to your settings.php file.
$settings['file_private_path'] = realpath("{$app_root}/../private");
Create the private directory and set its permissions to 755.
After implementing this setup, you'll find different file inputs available.
