As is, your code should generate an error because you haven't specified an
upload folder, which is required when passing new Field objects to
SQLFORM.factory. Try:
import os
SQLFORM.factory(Field("quotes", "upload", uploadfolder=os.path.join(
request.folder, 'uploads')))
If you don't want to save the file at all, though, then don't call
form.process(). Instead, just check for the uploaded file:
if request.vars.quotes:
manage_quotes(request.vars.quotes.file)
