File Uploads in Forms

Add a file upload field to your form so respondents can attach documents, images, or other files with their submission.

  • Required permission: forms:create
  • You should know how to build a form first

Go to CreateForms and click on the form you want to edit.

Drag the File Upload field type from the panel into your form.

Click on the field to open its settings:

  • Label — name the field so respondents know what to upload (“Resume,” “Abstract,” “Project Photo”)
  • Required — toggle on if they must attach a file
  • Help text — tell them what format or size you expect

Click Save.

  • Files are stored securely. Only organizers with the right permissions can access uploaded files.
  • You can download uploaded files when reviewing responses.
  • Large files take longer to upload. If respondents are on slow connections, keep file requirements reasonable.
  • Need to collect multiple files? Add more than one File Upload field, each with a clear label.
