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

"Where can I upload photos to Google Forms?"- Quora

This is a common question from people whose forms get filled in on a phone. For example, you might run a photo contest, where most entries come from a phone and the photo is often still in the camera roll. Google Forms makes people sign in to Google before they can upload. Asking them to send the photo by email or WhatsApp means matching each one to its entry by hand. With Formfacade, users can upload files by selecting a file from their computer, dragging the files from their computer and dropping it in the upload popup, snapping a picture using their mobile camera or uploading files from the photo library. They will do all of this with no sign in. Even better, every photo stays with its entry, so there is nothing to match by hand.

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

Summary

If people fill in your form on a phone, Google's sign-in gets in the way and asking them to send a photo by email means matching it to the entry by hand. With Formfacade, they take a photo or pick a file on a phone or drag and drop on a computer and every entry comes in with its file. Create your form and try these on your form.
