Settings for the Files Activity
Maximum number of files to upload at a time
The File Upload dialog box is where users choose the files they want to upload. Users may select up to ten files to upload in one go. This maximum number is set in the MaxUploadFileCount key as follows:
<appSettings>
<add key="MaxUploadFileCount" value="10" />
</appSettings>
Note It is advisable not to increase the limit above 20 as the dialog box does not scroll, and setting a larger limit will make the Upload and Cancel buttons disappear off the bottom of the dialog box.
File types that cannot be uploaded
The Files activity does not allow users to upload files with the following extensions: .asp, .aspx, .cs, .dll, .exe, .htc, or .vb. If a user uploads a zipped file containing files with these extensions, Files will not extract those files either.
If you want to change this list or add restrictions for other files types, use DPM Explorer to add the InvalidUploadExtensionList property to the server's ManageFiles application settings. The property's value should be a list of all the file types you want to ignore, each one separated by a semicolon.
1 Launch the DPM Explorer utility.
2 Navigate to Site > Servers > ServerName > Applications > ManageFiles > Application Settings
3 Add a new property named InvalidUploadExtensionList and provide a list of all the file types you want to block, each one separated by a semicolon, in the new property's value field.
4 Click OK. The new property is added to the ManageFiles application settings.
