Hi Laura

This may give you some guidance

https://regarding365.com/microsoft-forms-now-supports-attachment-uploads-3310333e7dd6

As you can see because you’ve created it as a personal form the files submitted will go into your OneDrive. So you’ll need to recreate as a group form so they go into SharePoint. In addition, if I am reading correctly the maximum amount of attachments is 10 which may be the reason not all are showing up.

I don’t think Forms is natively used to mass upload files but the article should help you go in the right direction.

Hope that answers your question!

Best, Chris

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the quick reply. I understand that there is a limit of 10 files per question type, but is the limit to the number of file uploads fields the same? I.E I can either have 10 file upload fields, or 1 file upload field with 10 files uploaded?

In addition, I've duplicated the form as per your suggestion and have come up with different error messages when trying to submit a response:

1. Your response exceeds the limit. Try shortening some of your answers. [I only have 2 questions with a text box and I only input 2 words in each of those text boxes]

2. Uploaded file(s) expired. Please upload it(them) again. [I am unable to tell which file has expired]

Thanks and hope to hear from you soon!
