URL as File Upload Option on Forms

JTodd

When creating a Form and using the File Upload option, the only two options I see are to browse files or drag and drop. Is there a way to allow the user to paste a URL for the file they want attached? in Attachments there is an URL option, but I do not see how to use it on the Form.

Hi @JTodd

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit this as a Product Feedback or Idea (If it hasn't been added already) when you have a moment.

Here's a possible workaround or workarounds

• Add another field where they can add the URL, and then you can manually download or possibly have it automatically downloaded with a 3rd-party service.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!
