This isn't really need for support, but it's a question for the Invision team. 🙂

A member on our forum just asked this, and I realize that none of the Admin team knows the answer. When users upload photos or documents into posts, are they scanned for viruses? Is there any sort of file scanning going on in IPS?

Thanks in advance!

At least on my server the uploads are scan by anti-virus software nightly for virus or malware. I'm not hosted on their cloud setup but on a VPS server I manage myself. 

We are not hosted on their cloud either . . . it's a hosting company. Should I ask them or would this be more likely to be a feature in the IPS?

Ask your host, there is no such feature in the software.

This would not be in the software but a hosting support question. 

Is there any protection for cloud customers? 

 

Is there any protection for cloud customers? 

The software itself doesnt check, but of course the cloud itself is protected from malicious activity

Thanks! I'll find out from our host. Appreciate the fast answer.

No problem at all. Hope you get the answers you need there.
