I want customers to be able to upload videos and pics with there order but cautious of potential dangers of malicious files being uploaded. How can i stop this? Does shopify anything to protect me from these files? etc.

Hi @bolynt ,

If you want to protect against potential risks of malicious file uplods consider following these steps:

  • Limit your accepted file types to safe formats.
  • Set file size limits in order to manage storage and also performance.
  • Use an antivirus software to scan files uploaded.
  • Implement server.side validation.
  • Educate your customers on acceptable files types and sizes
