Prevent File Upload – Take Control of Your App’s Uploads Like Never Before!
Hey, fellow Bubble developers! 
Let me ask you this—have you ever wished you could stop your users from uploading files the moment they select them? Maybe you’re running a marketplace, a forum, or any app that requires more control over the files being uploaded. If so, I’ve got something for you!
Introducing the Prevent File Upload plugin—your new best friend when it comes to controlling file and image uploads in Bubble.
Here’s the thing: by default, when users select a file in Bubble’s File Uploader or Picture Uploader, the upload starts right away. Sometimes, you don’t want that! You need a little more control over the process, right? Well, with Prevent File Upload, you can hit pause right after the file is selected. Instead of it instantly sending data to your server, we capture the file’s metadata (like name, size, and type) and make it available for you to use in your app’s workflows.
But wait—it gets better! You can decide whether to proceed with the upload based on custom rules you define. Want to make sure the file is a valid image? Or check if the size is within your limits? No problem! You’ll be the one to trigger the upload only when you’re ready using the Start File Upload action.
Here’s Why You’ll Love It:
- Intercept Uploads: Take control! Files won’t upload immediately.
- Access File Metadata: Get a sneak peek at the file’s name, size, and type.
- Approve or Reject Uploads: Set custom rules and build workflows to decide which files go through.
- Manual Upload Trigger: You’re in charge—upload happens only when you say so.
- Enhanced Security: Stop bad files before they even have a chance to upload.
Who Will Love This?
- Moderated platforms like marketplaces, forums, or community apps
- Apps that need file type/size checks before upload
- Platforms where certain users get special privileges (e.g., premium uploads)
- Anyone looking to add extra security to their file upload process
I’ve made sure to keep everything simple and intuitive. So, if you’re looking to take control of your file upload process and add another layer of customization and security, this plugin is your answer.
