We have a form that external users need to complete, including the capability to attach files. However, the option I wish to enable, "Anyone can Respond," is currently disabled or unavailable.
A web-based tool in Microsoft 365 that enables users to quickly create surveys, quizzes, polls, and feedback forms.

We should be allowed to allow people outside of our organization to upload files. This is a basic feature. Please add this in an upcoming update of Forms
Its 2024 and we still can't utilize forms just to upload some simple file....
Don't worry google come for the rescue.
Just to echo the same, I cannot create forms where people can upload files who are outside of my org. I will have to try Google sadly
I have found a workaround for this.
(I think you must have a business account, I don't think this will work with a personal account, the request files option is not there on personal accounts)
Create a folder in OneDrive
On the folder select the three dots (more options) button
Select Request Files (make sure you allow anyone outside the organization to upload)
Copy the link provided by the request files option
Insert the link into the form that you have made (make sure you allow anyone to fill out the form)
This has worked for me.
The good thing is, the people have access to upload the files. It asks for their name when they upload, so you can track who uploaded what (it adds their name to the filename). They do not have visibility to see what anyone else has uploaded.
Please has anyone found a solution or can anyone recommend any other product that works?
I am so disappointed in Microsoft, I actually paid 365 subscription just to use Forms only to see that the paid won't do anything different from the free one SAD!
