What are the different ways users can upload files in the form?

"Google Forms - Use Camera to Upload File OR Submit Answer"- Google Docs Editors Community

This is a common question: 246 people on Google's forum have asked how to take a photo with the camera from inside a Google Form. On a phone, the photo someone needs to send often isn't taken yet, or sits in their camera roll, and Google Forms' upload asks them to sign in to Google before they can add anything. With Formfacade, the Add file button opens an upload box where people pick a file from their computer, drag and drop it, take a photo with their phone's camera or choose one from their photo library. None of it needs a sign-in, and each photo arrives with the rest of that person's answers.

Let's start. Create your form and try these on your form.

When your users click Add file on your form, an upload box opens. They can:
Browse and choose files from your computer
The upload box on a computer saying Drop files here or browse files, with browse files marked
Drag and drop files from your computer
The upload box on a computer with the line Drop files here or browse files marked and the note 1 file, 10 MB max
Snap a picture with your mobile camera or upload from your photo library
To let your users upload from their phone without a sign in, refer to this help article: How to upload files to Google Forms without a sign in?

Summary

When people fill in a form on a phone, Google's sign-in gets in the way of sending a photo. With Formfacade, they take a photo or pick a file on a phone, or drag and drop on a computer, and each response comes in with its file. Create your form and try these on your form.
