Using the new File Upload question in Microsoft Forms

Microsoft Forms is a great survey tool, but a number of people were wanting to have a question type that would allow people to upload files when responding to a Forms survey.

When I select my file and click OK, the Forms survey shows that I uploaded the file (testpdf.pdf), and I can submit my response:

And just to show you the OneDrive area… I have a folder structure that’s named after the title of the Forms survey, and I can see the uploaded files:
