Extension and detected MIME type must match the configured allowlist. Executable formats are rejected.
Private by design
Collect files without treating a hidden URL as security.
Drecha Forms Free supports single and multiple uploads with allowlists, size limits, MIME inspection, randomized filenames, private storage, executable-file blocking, and authenticated downloads.

Keep access private
Uploads are served through permission-checked download handlers rather than public, guessable media URLs.
Control resource use
Per-file and form-level limits constrain size and count; orphan cleanup removes abandoned temporary files.
