File upload forms: receive CVs, documents and photos.
With a file upload form, respondents attach their documents as they answer — applications, registrations, contests — with no account and no long email threads. Every file arrives with its answer, stored in your Mailpro space.

No more attachments lost in your inbox
Asking for documents by email means accepting omissions, oversized files and attachments to dig out of the inbox. With the File field of the form builder, respondents upload their documents as they fill in the form: files arrive checked, attached to the right answer and stored in one place. The File field is part of Mailpro’s online form builder, and our help page explains how to receive file uploads with a form, step by step.
What the File field accepts
| Number | 1 to 5 files per field, and several File fields per form if needed |
| Size | Up to 20 MB per file; you can set less |
| Formats | PDF · JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP images · Word · Excel · PowerPoint · ZIP |
| Refused | All other formats, including programs and scripts |
| Account | None: respondents upload their files without signing in |
You decide what you receive
For each field, choose the accepted formats, the number of files (up to 5) and the maximum size (up to 20 MB). If a file doesn’t fit, the respondent knows immediately and can choose another one. With conditional logic, you can show the File field only when the previous answer calls for it.
Every file is checked
On upload, Mailpro checks the content of each file, not just its name: a document renamed to .pdf that isn’t a PDF is refused, and programs or scripts always are. Files are not public; you must be signed in to your account to open them.

Stored in My files
Each form has its own folder in My files, and each file carries the answer number and the respondent’s name. Download the whole folder as a ZIP, open a file from its answer, or from the link in the notification email. Find out how uploaded files are renamed.
Your storage under control
Uploaded files count toward your account storage. You are alerted by email and in your account before it is full; deleting an answer also deletes its files and frees the space.
