    Hey guys! Gravity forms is working awesomely on a number of sites I've set up, so first and foremost, thanks!

    I have one client who handles sensitive information via the file upload function and would like to do the following:

    1. Client submits file – information on time, date, ISP, etc. are captured
    2. File formatted – file gets zipped and given the following naming convention – YYYYMMDD.Name.Location.zip
    3. File uploaded into a root folder instead of a specific folder

    Is this something I can make happen with gravity forms or would I be better off with another solution for this?

    Thanks!
    Chris

    Gravity Forms doesn't currently rename files. Whatever filename the file has when it's uploaded is what it used, unless it's a duplicate and then a number is appended to the end of the name.

    To override the default location for saving file uploads you can write custom code that uses this hook:
