Send Elementor E-Mail Form Attachments as Regular E-Mail Attachments instead of a link that is saved in the ftp server

Prerequisites

WordPress & Elementor Pro

  •  I have searched for similar features requests in both open and closed tickets and cannot find a duplicate.
  •  The feature is still missing in the latest stable version of Elementor ( Elementor Pro. )

What problem is your feature request going to solve? Please describe.
Elementor Contact Form email attachments should not go to ftp drive and sent as a link. It is annoying and takes too long to delete.

Describe the solution you’d like
We would suggest Elementor Email Forms should be sent as E-Mail Attachments instead of saving to ftp server as a link. It is very annoying and counter intuitive for us to have to go to the ftp drive to retrieve/delete images a customer sends to us via form attachments. It would be best if either they can be just sent as an “attachment” or a folder you could create in wp-admin > elementor > email attachments. Either way would be better than the system now. But a regular old fashioned email attachment is preferred.

Describe alternatives you’ve considered
Above is all
