1. Is this request related to a challenge you're experiencing? Tell me about your story.

In the current version of Dify, it appears that users can upload and reference only specific types of files within workflows. It would be beneficial for broader use cases if the application could support uploading a wider variety of file types (e.g., PDFs, spreadsheets, images, etc.) and allow these files to be referenced directly within the workflow.

Request:

File Upload Support: Expand the range of file types that users can upload into the Dify platform.
Workflow Integration: Provide functionality to reference these uploaded files as variables within workflows, enabling automation and more dynamic content usage in workflows.
Benefit:

This feature would increase the flexibility of Dify and enhance its utility for users who need to process or reference different types of content within their workflows. It will also streamline workflows by eliminating the need to externally manage files and manually reference them, making Dify a more comprehensive solution for various business needs.

2. Additional context or comments
