Description
This is not an issue, this is more of a question, I am sorry if I was not supposed to post it here but I couldn't find anything related to file uploading in the flask-marshmallow (or marshmallow) docs.
- Is there a way to validate file uploads in Flask Marshmallow?
Like uploading images and validate the mime type (if it's png, jpg, gif).
I saw people trying to use validators with no success:
```python
class UploadSchema(Schema):
image = fields.Raw(type="file", validate=FileExtensionValidation())
```
```python
class FileExtensionValidation(Validator)
def __call__(self, value, **kwargs):
....
```
But that lead to nowhere as I am not sure how to read the file submitted to check its name (cant do it from `value` in the example above).
Thanks in advance.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the documented behavior of fields.Raw and the validator pattern shown in the issue, then inspect the Flask-Marshmallow and Marshmallow documentation entry points for file-upload handling. Done would be a clear documented answer about whether uploaded files can be validated this way, including the supported validation boundary or a stated limitation.
