OneDrive File Requests for Qualtrics

In lieu of File Upload questions, OneDrive File Requests can be used as an alternative to receive file uploads from survey respondents. Receiving files via OneDrive also allows sharing and collaboration within the OneDrive platform.

How to Set Up a File Upload via OneDrive

Create a File Request in OneDrive

  1. Log in to OneDrive (opens in new tab).
  2. Create the folder where you want uploads to go.
  3. Select the folder where you want the files to go.
  4. Click "Request Files" from the menu.
  5. Give the request a name (e.g., “Survey File Uploads”).
  6. Copy the upload link that OneDrive provides.

Add a Link to Your Qualtrics Survey

  1. In your survey, add a Text/Graphic question.
  2. Alternatively, you may use a required Multiple Choice question with a single choice that the respondent must select to proceed.
  3. Use the Rich Content Editor to add the OneDrive File Request link to the question.
