    Hi, I’ve created a simple form with an attachment. When the data is submitted I see the uploaded file for some seconds on the server, after that it disappears. On the email there is only the file name but there isn’t any attachment.

    Would be possible to store the file on the server and put a link on the email?

    Thank you very much.

    Where can we see the website in question?

    It’s currently on a private staging server. I forget to add that I’m also using “WP Mail SMTP”, maybe it could be the problem.

    Anyway it looks that when the email is sent, the attachment is deleted from the file system. What I’d like is to keep the files (better on a different folder than other media files) in order to have a downloadable link in the email body. Is this possible or do I need to implement custom code?

    It’s impossible and never recommended.

    Why is not recommended?

    Because security and privacy risks will be severely increased.
