Look at some tutorials people have put up related to detecting browser types. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/using-a-mobile-device-tablet-with-the-file-upload-field#post-64576 Tue, 03 Jul 2012 13:11:52 +0000 skipperchong 64576@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Can you display alternate content in place of the form for someone viewing a page with a device running iOS? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/using-a-mobile-device-tablet-with-the-file-upload-field#post-63310 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 10:01:23 +0000 Clifford 63310@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>iOS doesn't have a file browser (like Finder or Windows Explorer). So you can't even navigate to a file to select. You'd have to do it through an app. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/using-a-mobile-device-tablet-with-the-file-upload-field#post-63301 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 09:28:29 +0000 David Peralty 63301@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I haven't had a chance to test it yet, and no one has made mention as of yet.

So mobile file uploads on web sites using the iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad is not possible. This is why you can only upload files (pictures, etc.) using native apps such as the Facebook App, etc. Safari simply doesn't let you do file uploads on the iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch.</p></blockquote> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/using-a-mobile-device-tablet-with-the-file-upload-field#post-63241 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 20:13:54 +0000 mikevh68 63241@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I am able to get the File Upload feature to work with my site when using a computer. However, when testing the feature out using either a mobile device (Iphone or android) or tablet (Ipad) the browse button is greyed out and not enabled.
