Hello, does the File Extension check only check the file extension or does it do something more sophisticated ?

Can I count, that user will not be able to create malicious files ? (where the extension and mime type has been tampered with)

I didn't find an answer to this in the docs.

TL;DR
File Extension check in Storage is enabled by default and only checks the file extension. Appwrite also has built-in antivirus for storage, which can be enabled in the bucket settings to further enhance security. Users cannot create malicious files where the extension and MIME type have been tampered with.

As far as I know, it just checks the extension. Apart from that, remember that appwrite has built-in antivirus for storage. You can enable it in the bucket settings
