Restricting File Extensions

As an administrator, for security reasons you may want to create a set of rules for the working environment where many users have access to a central resource, such as files and folders in FileCloud.

• This helps prevent users from uploading malicious attachments and viewing them.

• By default FileCloud will restrict files with php extensions. This is to prevent any code injection.

To manage extensions in the Admin Portal:

1. In the FileCloud admin portal's left navigation bar, scroll down and click Settings. Then, on the Settings navigation page, click Misc .
   By default, General settings are opened.
2. Scroll down until you see the Disallowed File Extensions box.
   
3. In the Disallowed File Extensions box, specify the restricted extensions.
   
   

   This list of extensions must use the following character as the delimiter:

   • '|'

   • For example, to add restrictions for mp3 and mp4 to the list of disallowed extensions:

     php|php5|phar|phtml|mp3|mp4
