Answer 1

I'm using symfony 4,

I wanted to get the files original name. What worked for me is:

$form = $this->createForm(SomeType::class, $object);

if($form->isSubmitted() && $form->isValid()) {

    $fileName = $object->getImage()->getClientOriginalName();

}

In my case getImage() is the getter for the name of the file upload field. So that would change to your relevant getter function for the file upload field.
