Microsoft Forms External Sharing Disabled

Sakthisp 

So 5 years on and this is still a thing?

Come on MS - it's a requirement of so many organisations!

It looks like this has been on here for two years with no resolution! Has anyone heard an update?

This feature would help my organization a lot.  I understand it's probably for security reasons, but I can share a SharePoint team site with someone outside of my organization and they can upload files to it...so can someone please explain the difference?  I have also uploaded files with other organizations and the file is verified before being submitted so why can't Microsoft do the same (something like the ATP scan for e-mails)? I also noticed Microsoft will allow us to upload files to this forum.  There must be security options in place, can that be used in forms?

Thanks,

Heather

Sakthisp Just sharing my experience and a potential work around which works in my scenario.  I set up a form to capture new client data for KYC checks, with that comes the requirement to upload proof of ID documents. So in my MS Form I add a "Text" section, in the question box I put some detail about what type of document is required etc.  I then created a Sharepoint folder, lets call it "Client upload" folder.  I then simply create and copy the link, set to share with anyone, then paste the link into the relevant forms "Text" box. The Form recipient receives the form and the link appears in the question field, there is obviously a click through in order to upload the document instead of attaching within the form itself, the document then ends up in my sharepoint folder.

The problem with this is that the recipient could still potentially click through the question without uploading a document, but it will work in some scenarios, like in mine where if the recipient doesn't upload a document I can easily work out who it is and ask them to do it, as I am only sending the form to one or two people at a time.

Hope this helps

The thing here is that you can share the forms with "External" as long as you don't have any "question that requires uploading Files, if you do have any then it will be disabled by default (since is a security issue).

Forms with uploading files are only ON (inside the tenant, so for users within the tenant that are members of your AAD).

Are there already any improvements of this? I need a form where externals can upload files. Otherwise the form is useless and I have to go back and send excel sheets and docs back and forth via email.

Thanks for any infos
