Hi, welcome back to another tutorial. In this tutorial, we will create a form with the help of which we will let our respondents to submit their entries for a competition. As an example, let us assume that we are contesting a photo competition, where the contestants will use the form that we are creating right now to submit their entries. While for this particular example, you will exactly learn about how to let the users to submit image but you can apply the same knowledge to let the respondent to submit any kind of file, whether it may be a video or a video file or any other file. So let us start the tutorial. First of all, In the forms name.

So I'm just naming it as photo competition, but you can exactly mention the complete name and the eater of the competition. So after changing the name of the form, I'm going to change the question here. Right now, it is untitled question, but before that, let us make a small change in the settings of the form as I need to gather the email address of the entrance. So in the Settings section, I will check this option saying collect email addresses. And moreover, as I want to restrict the number of entries from one particular person, hence, I will check this option saying limit to one response. And you need to remember that if I will check this option saying limit to one response, the respondent should sign into their Google account before they can submit this form.

So after making the change, I'm going to click Save button. This has automatically added the question saying email address offered that. Now I also need to know the name of the contestant understand so I'm going to replace this question as name and after that, I will select short answer as the answer type for this. I will make this question as required because I need to know the name of the contestant offer adding the question called name. Now we are going to add the main question of this form, which is submit your entry after renaming the cushion now I'm going to select that answer. Type as file upload.

So after I have selected that answer type, you can see a small message from Google saying the files will be uploaded to your Google Drive. So this message is being shown because it is a caution, saying that the storage space of your drive will be used in order to let the users submit their files. Hence, you had to take care of that you have enough storage provided in your Google Drive. By default, Google Drive will have about 15 GB of free space. And in the case, if most of your Google Drive space has been already used, then there is an option to upgrade the storage of your Google Drive. Let us click continue and offer that so now you have different options here.

To manage the type of file and the size of the file, when you switch on this option saying allow only specific file types, then it will show you different file types to select of which I am going to select the image file. You can also select any other file at the same time. But I want to allow only image files to be submitted by the respondents of the form and maximum number of files that the user can select. I want it to be one and the maximum file size. The maximum file size by default is 10 Mb and I think that is okay. If you want to provide 100 Mb, then you have to make sure that there is enough storage available in your Google Drive.

So for this form, I'm going to select the maximum size as 10 Mb it's better to add a small description that the maximum file size will be 10 Mb now I'm going to talk about the maximum storage space that you want to dedicate this form where you have file upload as the answer type. So by default, the form can accept up to one GB of files. And after one GB of files have been uploaded, the form will stop accepting any other files. So you can increase this by clicking the Change button. And here we have the drop down to select the maximum size of all files uploaded. By default it is one GB you can select 10 gb hundred GB or one TB based on the number of conditions that you are expecting to submit this form and the maximum file size that you have set.

For this form, I am going to select 10 gb and a 10 GB of space for maximum file size of about 10 Mb means at least 1000. Contestants can submit their files by using this form. After changing the setting, I'm going to click Save button. And I want to make this question required. Now I'm going to add another question at the end. And I will name that question as how.

So at the end of the form, I have included another question saying how did you get to know about the competition, whether by news through Google search or Google ads, Facebook ads through Friends or through our website or through any other means. By including this question I can get to know about how most of the people how got to know about the competition, and I can invest more amount of time in marketing by using that particular channel. So this is a kind of a very helpful question which most of us may ignore, because it doesn't help right at the time of the competition, but it may be helpful for any other future competitions that you may contest and moreover, not only in the case of this scenario of competition, this question should be included in any other form, where the conversion rate of the form is much important to you.

So we have added all the questions but before trying to preview this form, I want to do Change the theme, I'm going to replace the header with an image. And I have bought an image for this particular form by using Excel Bay, which is a place where you can get so many free images. And the images that you can find here are free for commercial use, and no attribution is required. So you need not mention the author of the image that you have used in places where you're using for commercial purposes. But however, mentioning the author's effort is always a good practice. I'm going to upload it and after making this theme changes, let us go to the preview section and test the form.

So as this is the preview of the form, it hasn't asked me to sign in with Google. But for the respondents it will ask to sign in with their Google account and we have the email address name and submit your image as a required questions. Whereas the last question is not required because this is not the main subject of this form as I left it as not required. Now, here the main question of this form, let us try to answer for it. When I click Add File, it will open a pop up like this where we have to submit the particular file and after providing all the required answer the condition and submit the form it is a quite easy form and in this tutorial you how learned about the file upload answer type hope you are enjoying the tutorials.
