Can my visitors upload files using my contact form on 123FormBuilder?

    1. Hello Jacob,

      Yes, this is possible. You will need to add a File Upload field on your form to allow your users to send you files. Make sure that you place the Email recipient that should receive these files in Settings → Notifications → Form Owner.

      Please do not hesitate to contact our Support team at support@123formbuilder.com in case you need further assistance.

      Thanks!

  4. Hello,

    I want to ask if in the premium package users can upload any type of file (pdf, jpeg, word, png, avi, wma, mp4, etc.)?

    Also, is there a storage limit to upload files for a premium user or is it unlimited?

    Thanks.

    1. Hello,

      Users can upload any type of the files you have mentioned earlier. Storage space depends on the account paid plan you are on. On Gold the storage limit is 500 MB, while on Platinum it’s 2 GB. Consult our Features Matrix, under the section Form Fields, to see how much space each plan has to offer.

    1. Hello Michele!

      If I recall well, you want to sell personalized items through your order form where clients submit an image or a text they want to add to the item they will purchase. Try using rules in this case. Add two checkboxes, a textbox or textarea, and a File Upload field. Do you also sell standard items or just personalized? Here’s how you can set up your order form:

      1. Each of the checkboxes will represent the options ‘I want to upload a photo’ and ‘I want to add a text to the item’.

      2. Use rules to hide and show fields according to the options selected by the buyer. If a client checks the option ‘I want to upload a photo’, the File Upload field will show up under the field, where he/she can upload their own photo. For the option ‘I want to add a text to the item’, a textarea or textbox will appear under, where clients can add the text they want. You could also just leave all the fields displayed on the form, without having any hidden fields.

      Learn more about Field Rules at https://www.123formbuilder.com/docs/field-rules/.

      3. In Payments, assign a price for each option. If both the options are selected, the client will have to pay for both.

  6. I am building a wix site and want to be able to let visitors upload images to the site. Using your application, where do the uploaded files go? i.e. are they uploaded into an inbox, or is it possible for uploaded images to be visible on the site so that others can comment on them

    1. Hello,

      File storage is available on paid plans only. All files that are uploaded through your web forms go to the Uploads Manager of your 123FormBuilder account. You’ll find the Uploads Manager in the My Account section, under Payment Details. Read more on our documentation here https://www.123formbuilder.com/docs/how-to-manage-file-uploads-from-online-forms/

      Consult our features matrix to compare plans. A higher paid plan offers more storage space.
