How to install and use the plugin
1. You can choose to import the demo app or create the app from scratch. For demo app, go to Joget Home or All Apps and click on Import App to import the downloaded demo app (refer to another KB - Import Joget App for more details).
2. To create the app from scratch, now let us create a new form File Upload and Download with two File Upload elements.

3. Create list and crud for the form.
