How to make the file upload question mandatory?

If your form is a job application or a claim, a response without the document is no use. Google Forms can mark its upload question as required, but that question makes everyone sign in to Google first, so people without an account can't send anything at all. With Formfacade, you tick Mark this as required field on the upload question, and the form won't submit until a file is added. People do it with no Google sign-in, and each response arrives in your Google Form with a link to its file.

Let's start. Create your form and follow the steps below.
