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.Negative
we have "Only people in my organization can respond" Selected and still don't have the option.
Robert Barbrow Thanks everyone for the posts. Its very disappointing that Microsoft hasn't done anything to communicate this key change to the service.
ganeshsanap - Do we know if this is a future extension? I really wanted to use Forms/Power Automate for an intake process but if attachments from external people aren't allowed I'll have to use 2 seperate (and more painful to set up) programs.
Really this question to anyone.
There are some very good reasons why File Upload is not available outside your organization:
- You don't want someone you don't know uploading a suspect payload into your environment.
- Externally facing forms are too easy to overload even if you have upload limits on a per/file basis. You can imagine your 1TB OneDrive area filling up pretty quickly if someone wanted to spam you.
These above cases are actually more common than you think out in the wild.
