Note

This guide will help you circumvent this security caution precaution and therefore must be followed at your own risk. After completing this guide any actor or computer on the planet will be able to place files into your OneDrive/SharePoint folder. This is an obvious vector for attack and is therefore not within the functionality of Forms. There will be security precautions listed below. Please read and follow this guide carefully.

...

  1. If you have an existing Form, open it now by visiting forms.office.com.
    If you have not yet created a Form, please do so now.

  2. There is more than one way to share this link in the Form because Forms does not allow you to enter a simple read-only line of text.

    1. Create a “Choice” questions and supply only one choice, which is the URL of the Request Files.

      The text you enter in this field will become hyperlinked so that users can click on it.

    2. Create a new Section.

      1. Creating a new Section will require users filling out the Form to click Next at the bottom of the Form. They will be presented with a second page that can hold questions.

      2. Name the Section “File Upload” for example, and then paste the link in the Subtitle.

    3. Explore other options if these two don’t appear as you would like.

  3. Ask your uploaders to be specific with the naming of their files to help you associate the file with their form submission.

  4. Note: Your changes to the Form are saved automatically when you make them.

  5. Share the Form with others when you are finished.

Tip

The data uploaded into the folder you have created will not be linked to the Form. Be sure to check the folder frequently in order to associate the data with specific responses on the Form.
