How do I enable this functionality?

After installing and activating Gravity Forms Media Library, media library uploads become available in File Upload fields within any form. Let’s step through how to turn them on.

Add a File Upload field to your form.
Select the Perks tab, then check Upload to Media Library.

That’s it! Now all files and images will be uploaded to your Media Library from your form when it is submitted.

Feature Details

Upload To Media Library

When enabled on a File Upload field, GP Media Library will automatically upload files and images to your WordPress Media Library. This makes them easy to find and use in other places on your site.

The files and images are uploaded in the same way as if you had uploaded them to the Media Library yourself. This means everything that would normally happen when a file is uploaded to the Media Library will also happen to a file uploaded via a Gravity Form with GP Media Library enabled.

This includes WordPress automatically creating scaled duplicates of images, and any third-party processing, such as EWWW Image Optimizer or WP Offload Media Lite.
