Content Uploader: limit accepted file types

[MaximeMarck]

I need to be able to restrict the file types uploaded by users to Box (we want to avoid exe or cmd files to uploaded for example).

I understand that I can check this in the callback once the upload is done and then remove the file. This solution could work, however that requires the file to be sent first.

Are there other solutions to restrict this earlier in the process on the client side? Or having Box backend to handle that?

Would it be possible to add an option to pass an array of accepted file extensions which would then be applied on the input? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/Input/file#Limiting_accepted_file_types

Hey @MaximeMarck,

If you could send your application's enterprise ID to preview-team@box.com, I'd love to get you in touch with Box Consulting, since they'll be better equipped to help you out with implementation.

The other thing, if you want, we can mark your issues as enhancements and open up for pull requests for the issues you're seeing.

Thank you!
Justin

One other things would be to start a discussion on our dev forum, found here
