Problem with optional file upload fields

    Hi,

    I've created a form which contained 4 file upload fields. 3 of them where required and 1 was optional. 

    Since I know people that have been uploading files they have added files to optional fields but in few cases, those files were not uploaded. 

    Can you explain what happened?

    When reviewing your form, 61305914385355, I noticed that you have 5 upload fields. All where required. I am assuming that you just modified this recently.

    If this is not the form in question, please let us know.

    I have tested your form and could not replicate any issues with the upload field.

    Since this field is not required, is it possible few users did not upload additional files?

    Users did upload files but form didn't save them, this happened to few users between 2016-05-15 23:56:46 and 2016-05-16 00:01:19

    Also, users reported that form was very slow.

    And I have embedded form to my website via javascript tags, users didn't have a direct link to form.

    Could you try disabling the option "Allow Multiple" option for the optional file upload on your JotForm and see if that works?

    Please check and let us know if the issue still persists. I'm also further investigating the issue and I'll get back to you if I found any useful information.

    Thank you!

    Unfortunately, we observed an issue with Multi-file uploads failing randomly from EU servers. However, the issue was then fixed by our backend team. Please check now and let us know if the issue still persists. We will be happy to take a look again. Sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused.

    Thank you!
