Feature Request: Enhanced Image Upload Controls

1. Restrict Photo Uploads to Only New Camera Captures
Currently, users can upload existing images from their device storage. It would be valuable to have an option to enforce real-time photo capture only for specific use cases (e.g., field inspections, verification processes).

Suggested Implementation:

  • Add a toggle in form/field settings to enable “Camera-Only Mode” (disables file picker).
  • Mobile: Opens device camera directly.
  • Desktop: gives option 2 mentioned below.

2. Cross-Device Uploads (Mobile ↔ Desktop)
Many platforms (like Trello) allow users to upload files from a mobile device while working on a desktop session. This is especially useful for attaching photos/docs taken on-the-go.

Suggested Workflow:

  • A “Send to Mobile” button generates a QR code/link.
  • Scanning the code opens the NocoBase upload interface on the user’s phone.
  • Files captured/selected on mobile sync to the desktop session automatically.

Use Cases:

  • Field staff submitting site photos during desktop data entry.
