🛑 Prevent File Upload – Full Control Over File Uploads in Bubble
Take control of your app’s file and image upload process with the
Prevent File Upload plugin. By default, Bubble’s File Uploader and Picture Uploader elements begin uploading files immediately upon selection—this plugin puts the power back in your hands.
With
Prevent File Upload, uploads are paused at the moment of file selection. Instead of immediately sending data to your server, the plugin captures file information (such as file name, size, and type) and makes it available to your app’s workflows. From there, you (or your app’s logic) can decide whether to proceed with the upload.
You can then trigger the upload manually using the
Start File Upload action—only when you’re ready.
🔑 Key Features:
- Intercept Uploads: Prevent files from uploading right away.
- Access File Metadata: Get file name, size, and type before anything is uploaded.
- Approve or Reject Uploads: Build workflows that vet files based on custom rules.
- Manual Upload Trigger: Use the “Start File Upload” action to proceed only when approved.
- Enhanced Security & Control: Protect your app from unwanted or suspicious files.
🧰 Perfect For:
- Moderated platforms (e.g., marketplaces, forums)
- Apps with file size/type restrictions
- Conditional access (e.g., premium users only)
- Security-conscious applications
