How to make a form that accepts files
Fillio is a free online form builder with a File upload question you can drop into any form, next to names, emails and ratings.
- 1
Describe the form
Mention the upload in your sentence, like a photo upload, or add a File upload block in the editor.
- 2
Set the size cap
Keep the 10 MB limit or lower it on that question, down to 1 MB.
- 3
Send the link
Share it in a chat, an email or a printed QR code.
Nobody needs an account to send you a file
The upload works for anyone who opens the link, which matters when the people answering are customers, parents or strangers.
No sign-in screen
Fillio takes care of the upload in the background. The person sees the question and a drop zone, nothing else.
Works from a phone
Tapping the field opens the phone's own file picker, so a photo from the gallery goes straight in.
Too-large files stop early
A file over the limit is refused before it uploads, and the limit is shown right under the field.
Name
Photo
Every file stays with the answers it came with
You never match an attachment to a name by hand.
Open it from the response
In Submissions, each entry links to its file next to the other answers.
Export the list
The CSV export includes a link to every uploaded file.
Get an email for each entry
Turn on email notifications in the form's settings and each new response reaches your inbox.
Can Google Forms accept file uploads?
Yes, but everyone who answers a file upload question in Google Forms has to sign in to a Google Account first. In Fillio the upload question works for anyone with the link, with no account and no sign-in.
Which file types can people upload?
Images, PDF, Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, plus video and audio. Any other file type is refused before the upload starts, so nothing else reaches your responses.
Can someone upload more than one file?
Each upload question takes one file. If you need several, add one upload question for each, for example a photo, a CV and a cover letter. You can also describe all three in one sentence and Fillio adds them.
Is the file upload form free?
Yes. Upload questions are part of the free plan, and the people who send files never pay. The free plan takes 15 responses a month across your forms, and every response and file stays open.
