How To Restrict Uploading Files In Salesforce

While working in Salesforce, we sometimes come up with the requirements where we need to build some sort of validation to restrict uploading files with specific extensions or in other words, allow only approved file types/extensions. This is very important because uploading executing or javascript code can bring potential security concerns by exposing internal data to outside world.
So allowing only certain type of files for upload is a very common requirement. In this video, I am sharing couple of solutions with pros and cons to implement this requirement.
