Failed to upload your file in Teams Quiz Form

We have just started using 365 for our school.  I am testing the Teams assignments/quiz functionality.  I've created a quiz in Teams, where a student needs to upload a file.  However when a student tries the quiz, they keep getting the "Failed to upload your file" message.  Interestingly, when they open the Form directly (not in Teams-Quiz), they can upload the file. 

 

Please help!  This is for a foreign language class, so students need to upload their handwritten work.

      Thanks a lot mijawidnazir for the very clear tutorial. However, when I try to add a question in the test under Group forms, the option "File upload" is not clickable...  Any idea why this happen and how to solve it?

    Dear Colleagues:

    I've create a video to help solving this error. You can access it in https://youtu.be/B2hJP-1yCyI

    Although it is in Portuguese, you can add the subtitles. Please check if it solves your problem and send me your feedback.
    Also you can check other videos in https://bit.ly/2XQTCkq

     

    Best regards

      luismi77 thanks so much for your video.

       

      Following your clear instructions we used this to get quizzes working for our students.

       

      What is interesting is that having done this once for a given team, you don't need to repeat the process for further quizzes with upload questions - they just work.  This means we are now back to sharing quizzes among colleagues.

       

      Thanks once again for your help.

      Thank you sir! Your video is the right way to solve my problem. It is interesting that you give the class of Mechanics of Materials while I am giving Engineering Mechanics: Statics and Dynamics. MS Forms needs to address many features useful for Math & Engineering disciplines like accepting a range of answers as valid. However, that will be for other post.

      Thank you again!

        I accept sir. 

         

        The problem is, there are multiple groups and we need to enter in each and every group to edit.
        Isn't there any other solution instead of going to Group forms and edit again and again?

    techadminscesIt seems that when you create a quiz in Forms, user uploaded files are meant to be saved at your personal OneDrive. However, when you bring the quiz to your class group, the quiz is now meant to save the files at SharePoint.

     

    A few days ago I had to re-create the question and it managed to get uploaded to the new SharePoint address. However, that stopped working. Also, I don't seem to find the Microsoft Forms' file anywhere in Sharepoint.

     

    If I open the shared quiz in Forms (forms.office.com), Group Forms, I am not able to add file upload questions.

     

    Could someone at Microsoft help us?

    I'm currently experiencing the same issue with Teams. 

     

    If we upload a file in the Quiz we uploaded, it keeps giving us this error message:

    This error occurs everytime any user tries to upload anything into the Quiz. (Word, Excel, Pictures)

     

    We have similar issues when we use Forms without Teams, these arrors occur only part of the time, somthimes the upload screen just freeses of the whole Form has to reload. Sometimes we have to attempt the upload severals time before it actually works.
