 * Hello Takayuki,
 * Does flamingo have a plan to save attachments uploaded from the form similar 
   to this plugin: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/cf7-submissions/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cf7-submissions/)?
 * It would save us from installing another plugin.
 * And – would you think about placing flamingo’s menu items “Inbound messages” 
   and “Address book” under CF7’s menu? It would make it easier to find.
 * Thanks and happy new year!
 * Dan

 * No. Generally speaking, saving files uploaded by anonymous users brings huge 
   security and privacy risks. At least I won’t do it in this plugin.
 * And, I think it is meaningless to place Flamingo’s menu items under Contact Form
   7’s menu since they are separate plugins.

 * Thanks for your answers.
 * I have some follow up questions/comments:
    1. CF7 does allow a temporary file upload and then deletes the file -so isn’t that
       similar? Maybe add a checkbox, getting approval from the website’s admin that
       he approves and knows the security risk of allowing file uploads?
    2. Flamingo menu – it’s a closely related plugin to CF7 and would be meaningless
       without CF&, so I thought they are somewhat related. When I guide my clients
       to look for leads saved in the site by flamingo, it would make more sense to
       guide them over to the CF7 menu and show them that their leads are there next
       to the other CF7 menu items.
 * Those are my thoughts, great work on both plugins, love them alot!
 * Happy new year,
 * Dan
