Seems that we are able to import anything and everything we try to upload to the binary field. Should we have a checklist of posible allow files to handle?

Binary will take everything... you can limit what it takes using field variables https://www.dotcms.com/docs/latest/binary-field#FieldVariables

@josemejias11 We do have a field variable called accept that you can configure in the binary field for that. The problem is that the backend does not validate that yet and is not returning the extension/mimeType to validate in the Front-end when you upload a file using the temp API by URL endpoint. We have a ticket for that: #26340
