What file types can an upload form accept?

You can restrict fields to common formats such as PDF, DOCX, JPG, PNG, MP4, and ZIP, or allow any type. Rules are configured per field in the form builder.

Is there a file size limit?

Uploads are capped by workspace settings, typically around 10 MB per file on standard plans. The form shows the limit to users, preventing failed submissions from oversized attachments.

Where do uploaded files go?

Files attach directly to each submission inside your SharaForms dashboard, where admins can preview, download, or export them together with the rest of the response data.

About File Upload Forms

A file upload form collects documents alongside structured details, replacing email attachments and shared-drive chaos. Common uses include quote requests with site photos, design proof approvals, assignment submissions, insurance claims, and casting calls. SharaForms controls accepted file types, counts, and sizes per field, and every upload lands attached to its submission record.
