File uploads

Let the respondent attach a file. Private storage is on by default.

A file upload lets the person attach a file. The response stores a file name, type, and size. CSV export writes the file name, not the bytes.

A file upload has no size cap. Private and secure file is on by default. A private file is not on a public URL. Only people with access to the form can download it.
