With the right tool you can shave hours off your processes, de-risk your content acquisition strategy, and have more time to focus on other projects and tasks.<\/p>\n You can even expand on the limited capability of website builders like Wix, Squarespace, and WordPress. Most of these sites have plugins or native functionality for file upload forms, but they are very limited in scope and not meant for large media uploads.<\/p>\n On the customer-facing side, the content that fans and users create can be even more valuable than what you create internally. In fact, 79% of people<\/a> say that UGC impacts their purchasing decisions. This type of content provides authenticity that allows a company to connect with its audience. Plus, you can repurpose your users\u2019 content (with their permission) to create more impactful marketing collateral.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s how brands and companies can use file upload forms when collecting content:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”Enhance-the-user-experience” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”2514b1ee-af07-4bc3-a96b-c9aaa32f4a18″ text_text_color=”#000000″ text_line_height=”1.8em” header_3_text_color=”#000000″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n File upload forms simplify the submission and organization process for film festivals, short film contests, and other video-related competitions. File requesters can limit uploaded media to certain file types, sizes, or naming conventions, and add an automatic file upload cutoff date.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”Enhance-the-user-experience” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”2514b1ee-af07-4bc3-a96b-c9aaa32f4a18″ text_text_color=”#000000″ text_line_height=”1.8em” header_3_text_color=”#000000″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Examples of companies that use UGC for promotional purposes include ecommerce brands, sports broadcasters, sports teams, tourism and hospitality companies, and more.

If the content is collected from readers or freelancers, it\u2019s imperative for media outlets to get explicit permission from the creator before using\u2013and file upload forms help with that, too.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”Enhance-the-user-experience” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”2514b1ee-af07-4bc3-a96b-c9aaa32f4a18″ text_text_color=”#000000″ text_line_height=”1.8em” header_3_text_color=”#000000″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n With an order form that allows for file uploads, your customers can request a service and upload raw footage or other media files to be used as source footage or as a reference. You can even embed the file uploader tool and file upload forms right on your website or in your client-facing SaaS product for added convenience.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”Enhance-the-user-experience” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”2514b1ee-af07-4bc3-a96b-c9aaa32f4a18″ text_text_color=”#000000″ text_line_height=”1.8em” header_3_text_color=”#000000″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n You can use file upload forms to collect large files for job applications, auditions, insurance\/support claims, and more. For example, insurance companies can ask claimants to send images and video footage from a car crash site. There are even some job applications that require a video cover letter. The files in these use cases would generally be more than just a few MBs, so sending them through email or messaging apps would likely significantly slow things down.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,2_3″ _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”7b1bf5ad-cc2a-4448-981c-4963d88bd6e8″ background_color=”#f5f5f5″ custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”3%|3%|3%|3%|true|true” border_radii=”on|8px|8px|8px|8px” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.9.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/massive.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/tasty-edits-thumbnail.jpg” alt=”tasty edits thumbnail” title_text=”tasty-edits-thumbnail” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” border_radii=”on|5px|5px|5px|5px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.9.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”2514b1ee-af07-4bc3-a96b-c9aaa32f4a18″ text_text_color=”#000000″ text_line_height=”1.8em” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Learn how Tasty Edits<\/strong> used MASV Portals to create order forms that their clients used to quickly request video edits.<\/p>\n Video order forms ><\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”2%|20%|2%|20%|false|true” custom_padding_tablet=”4%|0%|4%|0%|true|true” custom_padding_phone=”6%|0%|6%|0%|true|true” border_width_top=”1px” border_color_top=”#e1e1e1″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”7b1bf5ad-cc2a-4448-981c-4963d88bd6e8″ custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|true” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text module_id=”The-Benefits-of-Embedding-File-Upload-Forms-on-Your-Website” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”2514b1ee-af07-4bc3-a96b-c9aaa32f4a18″ text_text_color=”#000000″ text_line_height=”1.8em” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n There are plenty of advantages of embedding a file upload form on your website over other methods of sharing content like adding a file attachment to an email, downloading images and video from social media, or sending physical media.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”Enhance-the-user-experience” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_line_height=”1.8em” header_3_text_color=”#000000″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n While email is an OK way of collecting content when it comes to one or two small files, collecting or sending several large files via email<\/a> can be cumbersome, time-consuming, and error-prone.<\/p>\n Creating a seamless user experience is critical for keeping your existing customers or users happy. You want them to have a pleasant experience so you can get the content you need, as well as maintain a professional brand image.

Sure, you could<\/em>\u00a0use email attachments, but you\u2019ll be drowning in multiple email threads and different file naming conventions before you know it.<\/p>\n There are also messaging apps like Slack and Teams, but they don\u2019t address the need to organize individual links and files; you need to do that manually. When working with multiple files you\u2019ll need to know who sent which file, the date it was sent, the description of the file contents, and other important information, along with ensuring each submission adheres to your file delivery specifications.<\/p>\n With file upload forms, the files you collect and relevant information can be found in one spot, saving you a ton of time and frustration. You can also set file delivery specifications, such as the type and naming convention of any uploaded files, keeping things organized.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”Enhance-the-user-experience” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_line_height=”1.8em” header_3_text_color=”#000000″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The file submission process should also be secure. It\u2019s important that you protect your users\u2019 content and ensure that it can only be accessed by authorized parties.<\/p>\n File upload forms attached to a universal file upload portal<\/a> typically use encryption protocols such as SSL\/TLS to encrypt data transmitted between the user’s browser and your web server, preventing bad actors from intercepting and accessing the data during transmission.<\/p>\n Some forms also help organizations adhere to compliance regulations. For example, Typeform, an online form builder, is compliant with PCI, HIPAA, GDPR, and WCAG 2.1. Google Forms are HIPAA compliant, but can also be GDPR-compliant if certain procedures are put in place to meet GDPR standards.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”Enhance-the-user-experience” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_line_height=”1.8em” header_3_text_color=”#000000″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Before sharing other people\u2019s content you need to ensure that all the legal boxes are checked. File upload forms allow you to ask the content creator to give your brand explicit permission to use their UGC for the intended purpose (e.g. a photography or video contest), so you can avoid legal trouble or embarrassment surrounding unauthorized content usage.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”Enhance-the-user-experience” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_line_height=”1.8em” header_3_text_color=”#000000″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Every touch point with your audience is an opportunity to strengthen brand perception and recognition.

Some people choose Typeform over Google Forms because the former provides more customization.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, however, you need a paid plan to remove Typeform\u2019s branding on the forms and to create a *File Upload* field. Typeform\u2019s maximum file upload size is 10 MB and it also has a soft storage limit of 4GB.<\/p>\n To use a template, go to Typeform’s home page and click *Templates* in the navigation bar.<\/p>\n Assuming you\u2019ve already got a Typeform account, do the following to set up a Typeform file upload form:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/massive.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/2.png” alt=”2″ title_text=”2″ _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_id=”section-two” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”2514b1ee-af07-4bc3-a96b-c9aaa32f4a18″ text_text_color=”#000000″ text_line_height=”1.8em” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n After users upload files to your Typeform, how can you get them?<\/p>\n There are three ways<\/a> of doing this:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/massive.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/3.png” alt=”notification” title_text=”3″ _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”2%|20%|2%|20%|false|true” custom_padding_tablet=”4%|0%|4%|0%|true|true” custom_padding_phone=”6%|0%|6%|0%|true|true” border_width_top=”1px” border_color_top=”#e1e1e1″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”7b1bf5ad-cc2a-4448-981c-4963d88bd6e8″ custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|true” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text module_id=”How-to-embed-file-upload-forms-on-your-website” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”2514b1ee-af07-4bc3-a96b-c9aaa32f4a18″ text_text_color=”#000000″ text_line_height=”1.8em” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Embedding file upload forms on your website is generally quite simple.
