Hi Keira_Low - yes I am referring to Microsoft Forms. You could create the Form and then have Flow route the documents to the correct path based on the fields they select in the Form.
Alternatively, you could set up a Drop Off Library/Content Organizer. https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Create-Content-Organizer-rules-to-route-documents-1E4D37A3-635D-4764-B0FC-F7C5356C1900
Hi Keira_Low - is there a business case against them directly accessing this library and navigating through the folder structure themselves to upload the files? If so, you could use Forms and Flow to route the documents, but keep in mind that Flow isn't going to be free for too much longer.

Hi, Kelly_Edinger .
In terms of business case, yes we do not want certain employees to have direct access into the folders. Hence, them uploading the files through a form is preferred.
When you say Forms, are you referring to Microsoft form?
