Unrestricting file type in Forms' upload
Hello All, We are using a variety of different file types that are not the usual pictures and docs, and I am trying to figure out how to remove that restriction from our form question. I would li...
As a workaround I've used the 'Request files' feature from within OneDrive or SharePoint and embedded the generated URL into the Form and asked for people to follow the URL, upload the relevant data, then return to the Form.

- The "Request files" feature only seems to work if the user is already signed in to their Microsoft account. So I had to require user sign in on the form to make sure they are already signed in.
Hey Ian_Ostrom. Request files is designed to work anonymously. Out of interest, have you tried the URL in an InPrivate browser session or sandbox environment?
- Thank you Graham, technically is good workaround , but Sales people is nevery willing to fill in forms, imagine if I have to ask them to add this new step 🙂
I don´t want but I think I will continue with Smartsheet that is working well until Microsoft correct this restriction. Appreciate your support.
