A File Input is an input field for uploading files.
Location in the Parts Library: Base Parts > Data Input > FileInput
If your form requires users to upload a file, you'll need a File Input part.
Your File Input will need to be given an ID, which is an identifier. For example, if your File Input part is to prompt a user to upload their resume, then you might give it an identifier such as Resume, or something that indicates to you what the File Input is about.

To change the color when the File Input is being hovered, select the File Input and open the 'Colors on Hover' editor on the right. Now you can set your preferred background and foreground color combination to signify that the File Input is being hovered.
The 'Color on Focus' editor on the right refers to the color of the File Input after it has been clicked, or if the user tabs to the File Input.
The 'Color on Active' editor on the right refers to the color of the File Input when it is active (the moment it is clicked).
There are two file input variants:
The 'Input Bordered' variant creates an outline around the file input.
The 'Input Ghost' variant removes the outline around the file input and makes it transparent.
Like many other parts, , , , , , and can be applied using the property editor on the right, once the file input has been selected.
The background colors of File Inputs can be a .
