How to allow external users to share attachments/files in MS Forms?

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi,

I have created a MS form and shared it with external users to capture information. I have created a flow that works in the following way. Every time they submit the form, a flow runs which creates a new entry in a SharePoint database.

Now, since I have given access to this form to external users, I am not able to add the option to allow my users to add attachments.

What is an alternative to this to allow my external users to add attachments/files?

Regards,

Aakash

@Anonymous

Only users that are within the org can upload files. It would be a good feature to have please upvote the idea (I have already upvoted it) at https://microsoftforms.uservoice.com/forums/386451-welcome-to-microsoft-forms-suggestion-box/suggestions/39933964-external-users-be-able-to-upload-files

@CFernandes Done.

I would appreciate if anyone out there can suggest an alternate method using a combination of flows maybe. Ideas are welcomed!

@Anonymous I cannot think for a possible workaround with Microsoft Forms and I assume hit a limitation.

It is not possible for users outside the organization to upload files. Reference from another Forum https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-forms/microsoft-forms-attach-files-users-insede-and-outside-my/m-p/1193016
