Hello
I use already your last version of WebSite X5 Evolution 9.
It is really good , but I met some problems.
In our web site I made contact form .
Everything works ,except files.
I don’t receive any photos from the e-mail form.
I receive the files from the field- attach CV, but I don’t receive the photos from the field: photos.
And , another question how I have to configure to receive the data to my hosting?
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards: Veneta Stefanova

Hello,
almost all the hosting provider set a limit of size for the uploaded files. If the images are larger than that limit, they're not saved by the server. Usually that limit is about 8Mb but it can be lower on your server. The same limit can be used for the emails sent from your server.
It's always tricky to manage the upload of large files on a website using only an email form.
If you want to upload the files directly to your server, you should use a custom PHP code. Simply choose "Send to file" in the email form options and then select your custom PHP file.
That PHP file shouold manage the file upload and then save it in a folder of your server. This requires a little bit of programming knowledge of course.
