File Upload

Use the File Upload question when you need respondents to attach documents, images, resumes, receipts, or other files as part of a form response.

Each File Upload question can use its own per-question configuration, including Google Drive upload settings when you want submitted files stored directly in a connected Drive account.

How to add a File Upload question

  1. Open the form where you want to collect files and click Add Content.

  2. Select File Upload from the Other section of the question type menu.

Best practices

  • Only request files that are necessary for the form workflow.

  • Use the description to explain accepted file types or document requirements.

  • Connect and test Google Drive storage before publishing a form that depends on file uploads.

  • Submit one test response with a representative file to confirm the upload path and access permissions.
