Forms: File Upload Preview of Tiffs / Verify file extension vs contents

asked on January 9

We have had an issue where users are upload files after changing the extension. For example we will find file uploaded with .jpg or .tiff which were actually pdfs causing them to not display properly when loaded in the web client. 

We were going to add the image preview option to the upload file option in forms but found that this does not display tiffs. 

Is there a way to get the image preview of the file upload in Forms to display an uploaded tiff file, or is there another method to display the uploaded file before they submit? or is there a way to verify that the content of the file being upload matches the extension of the file for jpgs, pdfs, bmps, and tiffs?

To me this sounds like a training opportunity, not an issue with the functionality of Forms. Why are they changing the extension and then attaching the messed up file to begin with? Maybe they shouldn't do that

I agree and do not know why. I am just trying to find a way to help ensure they do as instructed. One option was to have is display the image and have them verify it displays but since tiffs wont display in the preview that killed that idea.
