Description

Nextcloud (please complete the following information):

  • Nextcloud-Version: [31.0.0.14]
  • Forms-Version: [4.3.6]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In high security environments - eg. a bank - admins won't allow to have file uploads in forms.

Describe the solution you'd like
There should be an admin setting allowing or restricting questions of the type file upload.
Allow: Users are allowed to add questions of type file upload
Restrict: Users won't have that type of question

Additional context
Additionally there should be a hint when set to allowed, that admins should consider to take
further actions (Antivirus for files or file access control) to deal with this potential threat.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing the admin settings and the code that creates or exposes file-upload questions; done means an administrator can allow or restrict that question type and the allowed state presents the requested security hint.
