Need the ability for external users to upload files into MS Forms
Afternoon all, Our company has some lengthy bid tenders to carry out. MS forms is the perfect way for potential external suppliers to fill in the form and for us to capture the repsonses. However...
This is unbelievable. Ultimately, when you find yourself in a situation where you need to share a form with a customer and enable them to upload files, what suggestions do you have?
Management went a different way than Forms for our need. I was going to just embed a file request link to OneDrive that was going to achieve the same result. I tested it, and it worked, it just wasn't as elegant as I think it should be.
JustAnotherGuy42 can you walk me through how you did that?
- khaganman I just put a link in the form that pointed to the URL in a file request, which was setup to allow anyone to submit a file through. Instructions here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/create-a-file-request-f54aa7f8-2589-4421-b351-d415fc3b83af
JustAnotherGuy42 that doesn’t resolve the issue though. It’s much easier to have uploads in a single form, as opposed to going to external sites to upload!
Microsoft need to sort their sh*t out!
