With the File Upload content element you can give your participants the option to add any file to their submissions. This element can be used in any type of funnel you decide to build

You can accept as many files from your users as allowed within your monthly submission limit and as long as you have enough space on your account's storage.

The storage limit, just like the submission limit is defined by your plan.

If your account's storage is full, the upload element will not accept new uploads.

To start accepting files, just drag the File Upload element on your canvas.

In the element's options, you can choose from a variety of settings.

Add a custom message inside the upload area that helps the user interacting with the element. This can be a message such as "Drop file here or click to upload" or "Upload only image files with up to 2MB". Please be aware that this message is not included in the analytics or reports.

Set this option active if you want to prevent users to continue without uploading files. This validates for a minimum of one uploaded file. Use multiple upload elements if you want to validate for a specific file amount.

Choose if you want to allow multiple files on the same uploader. You can accept up to 10 per element. Multiple files are handled just like multiple answers, you will see all of them together in your analytics.

Define the maximum file size per uploaded file. Depending on your plan you can set this to up to 500MB per file. 

You can pre-filter for certain types of files, like only images or documents or even just certain file extensions. Just comma separate all file extensions or MIME types you want to allow. (eg. .jpg, .png, .gif or any MIME types like image/*). 

You will be able to see uploaded files just like any other data collected with involve.me by going to your funnel analytics. You can see all files collected for the same question in the "Summary" tab or at a submission level in the "Responses" tab. To download the file just open the link provided.

Note: All uploaded files have a random hash for the link (it cannot be guessed), this means that they are publicly available and anyone with the link can access a file that has been uploaded.

The download link for the uploaded files is also included in your notification email, exported XLS reports, webhook event and integrations.

The amount of storage that you have available will depend on your plan. If you figure that you currently do not have enough for your needs however, then there are two ways in which you can increase your storage.

Upgrading to a higher plan is one way of increasing the amount of storage that you have available, but if you figure that the upgrade to the next plan is too big of a jump, then you can always go with a storage add-on instead.

To acquire add-ons, simply navigate to the Plans & Billing page and click "Increase limits".

❗Only the Pro and Business plan offer the option for storage add-ons.

Here are the add-ons you can get by plan, and their price:

Whether the add-on you're getting is monthly or yearly, that will depend on your plan's billing interval. So for example, if you're on a monthly plan you can only get a monthly add-on, and so forth.

You can do one of the following, in order to free up storage:
