[Forminator Pro] Auto file deleting OR Date-folders for forminator uploaded images

0

Hi and hope all is well. It would be great to:
A: be able to delete all attached files after X time since server can get huge coz of them. You can delete full submission but I prefer to keep submissions but delete files.
B: Second, manual solution, is to have the uploaded images stored in date-folders. That way one could manually go in and delete images from Year+Month to free up space. It’s really good you save images in specific folders.
..Hmm, actually seems it’s actually working fine with just sorting by date and deleting older ones. anyways :P.

    Hi Peter

    I hope you’re well today!

    Uploaded files can currently be deleted automatically but only with submission – as it’s a part of configuration related to the user privacy specifically rather than just “maintenance/cleanup”.

    I got the idea, though, and I think it makes a lot of sense to be able to schedule such “cleanup” – just to regain/preserve storage space.

    I’ve already passed it over to our Forminator Team to consider so hopefully we’ll see that added in one of future releases.

    As for organizing files: you surely can just sort the files and remove them like you said but organizing them in “date folders” sounds like a handy idea too. However, I’m not sure if that would be easily possible due to how the files are currently handled (as they are stored in somewhat “encrypted” folder for security reasons) – but I also suggested it to our developers.

    Let’s keep this ticket open and see if other Members will also support these ideas!

    Best regards,
    Adam
