    <summary type="html">Hi, there!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Has anyone of you already tested the new upload field in forms that liferay introduced in its latest version 7.1-ga1? I personally added it to one of my forms, but the problem is that when a &lt;em&gt;Guest&lt;/em&gt; user tries to upload some file there, a pop-up opens where the user is asked to sign in and get an access to Document and Media folder inside the portal. From what I see, the user is only able to select and upload a file only from the Documents and Media folder, but not from its local filesystem. And here https://dev.liferay.com/es/discover/reference/-/knowledge_base/7-1/form-field-types it is said that this is possible. Am I missing something? Could it be a matter of some additional form settings or persmissions?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any help will be appreciated! Thanks in advace!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Greetings,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eli</summary>
