Upload Files in Microsoft Forms - New Feature!

Microsoft Forms allows you to create a survey with multiple question types. One of the new question types is the **File upload**. So users can now upload files in a survey! This is an awesome feature. The files are stored in a SharePoint folder and automatically marked with the person's name that uploaded the files. You can specify the number of files someone can upload and the maximum file size.

Number of files and file size

You can limit the number of files that can be uploaded between 1 and 10. The file size limit can be set at 10MB, 100MB, or 1GB per single file. The file upload question can also be set as "required".

One important note: this feature to upload files only works when sharing the form with your organization.
