Two levels of limits
Section titled “Two levels of limits”Each question’s limits sit inside the form’s own policy in Settings → Access & Security → File uploads: the Largest file allowed and Which files people may attach for the whole form. A question can narrow the form policy but never go beyond it. See Access & security.
What respondents see
Section titled “What respondents see”A drop area: “Drag and drop or click to upload”. Files of the wrong type or size are rejected with a message that says why.
Where files go
Section titled “Where files go”Uploaded files are stored securely with your organization and count toward your plan’s file storage (1 GB on Free, 25 GB on Pro, 100 GB on Ultra). Open them from the response in Submissions. Only people who can see that form’s responses can download them.
Signature
Section titled “Signature”Respondents sign with a finger, stylus or mouse.
