Attach files to a form for outside users
BrianHarry1730 this is not possible. Only users within your organisation can upload files.

Doesn't it depend on your tenant's OneDrive settings?

If the tenant allows external access to OneDrive, wouldn't users outside the organization would be able to upload files in Forms, since https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/add-questions-that-allow-for-file-uploads-6a75a658-c02b-450e-b119-d068f3cba4cf#:~:text=Sign%20in%20to%20OneDrive%20for,the%20name%20of%20your%20form.?
Or is there another piece to this I am overlooking?

Star_D No, it doesn't depend on your OneDrive settings, it looks at how the settings are set in the individual form .

I haven't tested that in my dev, though, so thanks for replying.- Black_DiamondJan 05, 2022Copper Contributoryou could attach the link to the OneDrive folder as part of the question.. like
1. upload the necesarry document via this link.....

Ah ok, thanks for confirming.
So if I create a form, how do I add a OneDrive folder to it to allow external individuals to add attachments please
- RobElliottAug 04, 2021Silver ContributorYou can't, external users cannot upload a file in Forms.
