That one has been driving me mad for the last 2 days ! Went through a lot of forum posts and google searches before I found this. Obvious but well hidden imho. I would move that field to just below the field where you enable user upload. That would have saved me a couple of hours and some hair.
Unless I'm blind (well my left eye is only performing for 50% so that might explain), it's not mentioned in the documentation:
https://www.phoca.cz/documents/17-phoca- ... n-frontend
So a documentation tweak maybe ?

Great & helpful forum though - cheers

Hi, it seems like all this problems was caused by this:

https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/issues/7316

The change in Joomla! which caused it, will be set back, so it will work the same way like in past

Regarding documentation:
1) first, this change was caused (probably) by upgrade from Joomla! 3.4.1 to Joomla! 3.4.2 - in fact this problem still searches its solution so it is hard to give any advice there when it is not finished - for not it seems like in next version of Joomla! the change will be set back so it will work the same way like in past - so this cannot be mentioned in documentation yet, as this problem was caused by change which is not related to Phoca Download

2) anyway, regarding documentation, see: https://www.phoca.cz/phoca-needs-your-help/

Please let me know if you have upgraded Joomla!, if yes, then this explains it all.

Anyway thank you for the info about this problem, this was very useful as I was able to detect places which were influenced by this Joomla! change.

Thank you, Jan

Quick solution for now (until it the feature will be set back in Joomla!), see:

(This is guide for Phoca Gallery but it is the same for Phoca Download)
