Managing File Uploads

The File Uploads Manager in NEX-Forms centralizes and organizes all files submitted by users through forms. This feature allows easy access to uploaded files, letting you view, download, or delete them directly from the manager. Each uploaded file is associated with its corresponding form entry, helping you keep track of submissions with attachments. The File Uploads Manager simplifies file management, ensuring that all user-submitted files are stored in one place for convenient review and retrieval.
