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 like to let our users upload files custom to some of our programs. Is this possible?
Example file type would be .dxf or .dwg Thanks!
- HI, I have the same issue. Trying to implement in Microsoft form and not in Smartsheet, but I think I will need to go back. My problem is with XLSB file.
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. You can then use Power Automate to go and copy or move the file to a location of your choice once the Form is submitted.
- 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.
No and No. The file-type restrictions imposed by Microsoft still apply.
- Did you find an answer to this? I need to be able to accept STL files for our 3D printers.
SaraKelley No, I had to implement a workaround. Its for an internal project so I just told the users to put them in a common folder outside of the form.
BoyerRou - Thanks! That's too bad. That sort of work around won't work for us. I need to be able to submit it with the form.
