在本文中,我们将向您展示如何在WordPress中轻松创建Dropbox上传表单。
为什么使用Dropbox上传表单附件 (Why Use Dropbox to Upload Form Attachments)
Some times you may need users to upload a file attachment using a form on your website.
有时候,您可能需要用户使用您网站上的表格上传文件附件。
For example, a job board website may need a file upload option to upload CV or work samples.
例如, 工作委员会网站可能需要文件上传选项来上传简历或工作样本。
A customer feedback form may need a file upload option so users can send screenshots. A photo contest website may need it for users to upload their entries.
客户反馈表可能需要文件上传选项,以便用户可以发送屏幕截图。 摄影比赛网站可能需要用户上传照片 。
As you receive files, you can store those files on your WordPress website. They will be added to your website’s wp-content folder.
接收文件时,可以将这些文件存储在WordPress网站上。 它们将被添加到您网站的wp-content文件夹中。
However, if you are expecting to get a ton of entries, and they are not related to your actual website files, then it is a good idea to save them separately.
但是,如果您希望获得大量条目,并且它们与您的实际网站文件无关,那么最好单独保存它们。
Uploading form attachments to Dropbox has the following advantages:
将表单附件上传到Dropbox具有以下优点:
- Keeps form upload entries separate from your WordPress files 将表单上传条目与WordPress文件分开
- Dropbox makes it easier to share those files with anyone and you’ll not need to give them access to your website. Dropbox使与任何人共享这些文件更加容易,并且您无需授予他们访问您网站的权限。
- You can easily browse and manage form attachments from your Dropbox dashboard 您可以从Dropbox仪表板轻松浏览和管理表单附件
- If you no longer need those files, then you can download, archive, and delete them. 如果您不再需要这些文件,则可以下载,存档和删除它们。
