File upload access

Files that are uploaded to Perch via a form from my site are uploaded to my server (outside of my site root). Is there any way to access them on the control panel? They come through on the notification email and I guess FTP would work, but it would be much more robust if they appeared on a list on the control panel and were downloadable from there. Might be that I'm missing the functionality so thought to check.

If it's not, it would be a super useful feature to have :)

I think you should be able to see and download the file from the Perch Forms admin.

When 'Viewing a Response' click on the file name and it will download.

Thanks Simon! Can't believe I missed that!

Actually, it's not an obvious link. It could do with an underline.

Good point. I'll pop some extra styling in my custom UI style sheet (https://docs.grabaperch.com/docs/customizing-perch/ui-customizations/) to make it look more like a link, in case my client has the same issue. Cheers!
