For field-based attachments, you can specify the type of files that can be uploaded:

* Image: jpg, jpeg, gif, png, heic, heif, webp, avif
* Document: doc, docx, pdf, xls, xlsx, txt, zip, csv
* Video: mp4, qt, asx, mov, swf, asf, wmv, swt, 3gp, mn, viv, 3g2, mpg, vivo, dvx, vob, mpeg, fly&#x20;
* Audio: mp3, wav, wma, ogg, aac, 3gp, m4a

From the **Attachments** tab for the record, you can attach files of any type.
