 * Hi,
    we have recently received a message which had some uploaded files missing.
   Only the first file was transmitted. The message shows, that files were uploaded.
   Where does the plugin store the files? Thanks! Best regards Sebastian

 * Hello [@iicgroup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iicgroup/) ,
 * Files will temporary stored in your server inside**wp-uploads/wpcf7_uploads**
   and it will automatically deleted after the email successfully send It doesn’t
   involve the database.
 * If you want to store files check send attachment as links option.(see below)
 * Go to WP Admin Contact->Drag & Drop Upload settings then check “Send Attachment
   as links?” option.
 * Regards,
    Glen

 * Hi [@glenwpcoder](https://wordpress.org/support/users/glenwpcoder/),
 * thank you, for your quick response.
    Unfortunately the plugin only transmitted
   one but seven files. Seems as if the other six files are lost. I will contact
   my provider if there had been any problems. Thanks again.
 * Best regards
    Sebastian

 * Hi [@glenwpcoder](https://wordpress.org/support/users/glenwpcoder/),
 * just one last question.
    Is there a possibility to store the files (as a kind
   of backup) when the email was successfully sent instead of deleting them? Maybe
   some easy changes in the code?
 * Best regards

 * Yes [@iicgroup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iicgroup/) , currently I’m
   relying on Contact Form 7 directory uploads which has auto file deletion.
 * But We can change it and move to another folder instead of default behavior of
   CF7.
 * Possibly I can add this on my next update.
