Attachment upload field in Forms

Hi all- has anyone figured out a way to add an attachment option when creating a Microsoft Form, or has Microsoft given a timeline on when this will be available? Thanks!

    Hi

    This Feature is available now and you can use it easily, But I have one comment for the link on excel sheet, It is not working direct, You have to copy the link and past it on browser to open it.

     

    I hope Microsoft solve this issue soon.

     

    Thanks

      Hi,

      can you pls confirm, that upload is only possible when logged in the O365 environment?

      Can you share this upload-forms with anyone out in the world? Or must they have a O365 account?

       

      THX, best regards from austria

      • File Upload control is available only when you select "Only people in my organization can respond" in the form settings for option "Who can fill out this form".

        So Yes, this control is not available when you share this form externally. Only people in your organization with O365 account can leverage this functionality.

      Is the attachment feature available in the education tenant as well? I don't see the feature yet. Any idea when it will be available in US region? Thank you for the help!

        As mentioned in above conversations some of the people are using the file upload in their Education tenant. I am not sure about is it available for education tenant in US region or not as it is still rolling for some regions and O365 plans.

      It's only available for forms that are restricted to your organisation/needing to be logged in to. If the form is public (no login needed) then it won't work.

      I'd love for it to work for public forms. Hoepfully that happens too

        What a shame! I didn't check that one. It would be great winner when it works both internally & externally.

        Hope that would come through as well? Soon!!

      Yong Qiu - Hello, I am currently working with Forms and previewing Forms Pro.  The solution we are implementing requires file upload. I'm very excited to start working with this feature! Please provide any updates on when it will roll out to all tenants or if there is a preview available. Thank you!

      Yong Qiu we need this feature for our customers. Do you know when this will be available in the Netherlands?

  • Only thing roadmap wise we got from ignite on that was this year. So could be at any point, but it's def. not supported yet.

      ChrisWebbTech Hi it is now possible with last update but why is it only available for internal use and not for public forms? I’d like to use a form for applicants and still have to use thirty party application.
