File upload questions
Use the file upload question type to allow respondents to attach a file as part of their response.
The file upload question type is available if you have a FlexiQuiz Essentials plan or higher. Respondents can upload a file using their mobile or laptop device and you can download their responses from the analyze screen.
File upload questions are great for:
- Course work submissions that include uploading essays, pictures, mathematical calculations, and other supporting evidence.
- Uploading resumes and documents during the recruitment and on-boarding process.
- Team building events like pop quizzes or a scavenger hunt.
