FilePond cannot behave exactly like a standard within an ASP.NET MVC form. Even when configuring allowProcess: false and not using the server option, files selected in FilePond are not submitted along with the form in the traditional way (multipart/form-data).

As a result, the controller receives the files as IFormFile or List as null, making it impossible to handle them the same way as with a standard input file. `

` Intentar enviar el formulario normalmente da como IFormFileresultado null.

FilePond no agrega los archivos seleccionados a los datos del formulario en este modo.

Custom AJAX form submis Collect all FilePoFormData. Downsides: loses the simplicity of a normal form submit and requires extra JS logic.

The ideal solution would combine the simplicity of standard form submission with the UI benefits of FilePond.
