Use this interactive demo to learn how to add a file upload field to your SurveyMonkey form.

Quick summary

Adding a document upload field to a SurveyMonkey form lets respondents attach files directly to their survey responses. You can enable this by changing the answer type to File Upload inside the SurveyMonkey form editor.


Steps

  1. Navigate to the top menu bar and click Design Survey.
  2. In the editor panel, enter your document upload question into the provided input field.
  3. Click the drop-down menu next to the question to change the answer type.
  4. Find and select File Upload from the available answer type options.
  5. Configure the File Upload settings according to your preferences.
  6. Click Save to apply your changes.
  7. The Document Upload field is now successfully inserted into your SurveyMonkey form.

📌 Why this matters

Adding a document upload field to SurveyMonkey forms allows organizations to collect files, attachments, and supporting documents directly through a survey response — eliminating the need for separate email follow-ups or third-party file-sharing tools. This feature is especially valuable for HR teams, research groups, and customer-facing workflows that require structured data alongside supporting documentation. The File Upload question type in SurveyMonkey streamlines data collection by consolidating responses and file submissions in one place, improving efficiency and data integrity. Teams that need to gather resumes, signed forms, images, or reports as part of a survey process can configure this field in just a few clicks.
