Collect file uploads

Sometimes a text answer isn't enough — you need a résumé, a photo of a receipt, a signed contract, or a portfolio. Formiqa's file field lets respondents attach files directly to their submission, and every upload is stored securely on Cloudflare R2.

This guide shows how to add a file upload field, control what respondents can send, and understand how storage is counted against your plan.

Add a file upload field

In the form editor, a file upload is just another field you drag onto the canvas:

1. 1Add a file field from the field palette, then give it a clear label such as Upload your résumé (PDF).
2. 2Set the allowed file types — an extension allowlist, for example PDF, JPG, and PNG — so respondents can only send the formats you expect.
3. 3Set the maximum file size and the minimum/maximum number of files the respondent can attach.

File limits

Each file field carries its own limits, independent of every other field on the form:

• Maximum file size — caps how large a single upload can be. The default is 10 MB per file.
• Allowed file types — an extension allowlist (for example PDF, JPG, PNG). Files with any other extension are rejected before they upload.
• Minimum and maximum number of files — require at least one attachment, or let a respondent add several up to the limit you set.

Storage quotas

Every uploaded file counts toward your account's total file storage, which is set by your plan: 1 GB on the free plan and 10 GB on Pro. This is a shared pool across all your forms, not a per-form limit. See plans and limits for the full breakdown.

Where uploaded files appear

Uploaded files show up on each individual submission in your submissions dashboard, where you can open or download them. When you export to CSV, file fields are flattened to their file URLs, so exported rows always point back to the original uploads.
