According to the Microsoft official article here ( you can click here to enter the article ---->>>> Add questions that allow for file uploads)

• Select More question types and then select File upload.
  **Note:**File upload is only available when “Only people in my organization can respond” or “Specific people in my organization can respond” is the selected setting.

• Enter the text you want to display for the question.

**Note:**The Upload file button is inactive for you as the form author. It will be active for your form responders.

1. Select the File number limit drop-down list to select the maximum number of files you'll allow to be uploaded to the question.

• Microsoft 365 Account Requirement: File upload in Forms is only available to users with Microsoft 365 business, education, or enterprise licenses. It won’t work on personal or non-licensed accounts.
• Form Access: Only people within your organization can submit files. File upload questions aren't available if the form is set for anonymous access (like forms open to external users).
