Collect files effortlessly

Accept resumes, photos, documents, and any file type through your forms. Secure uploads with automatic cloud storage included.

Why file uploads matter

Some information cannot be typed. Resumes, portfolios, photos, contracts, and designs need to be uploaded. Formsuite makes file collection seamless for users and organized for you, with secure cloud storage that keeps everything accessible and safe.

Collect what text cannot capture

Resumes tell more than names and dates. Photos show what words cannot describe. Documents contain details that would take pages to type. File uploads capture rich information that text fields simply cannot.

Streamline your workflows

Stop asking people to email files separately. Collect everything in one submission. Applications, registrations, and requests arrive complete with all necessary documents attached and organized.

Secure by default

Every uploaded file is encrypted in transit and at rest. Cloud storage is included with your plan. Files remain accessible only to you and your team, with granular permission controls.
