If a person completing my form want to send an attachment, .doc, pdf, jpg, etc, can this be done?

Yes this is possible. You may have a look at some of our upload form examples in our form template link below:

http://www.jotform.com/form-templates/category/upload-forms
When the users upload their attachments, you will receive a notification email on your set email with a link to access this attachments.

The uploaded docs/files will be saved in your Jotform account as form submission that can be accessed by logging into your account.

@Serdal Calik

The files uploaded via the form are not attached in the email notification instead it will contain a link where you can download the file. The reason why we had this setup is to prevent abusive users form hogging up our server's bandwidth and resources. The uploaded files are stored within the server you can also integrate the form with Dropbox to store the files there.

Thanks for using JotForm!

As stated by my colleague above, an alternative to access the files more effective and efficiently would be to use our DropBox Integration which would allow the files to appear on your computer automatically so long as your DropBox Account is Synced with your Computer which would probably be the best way.

As I understood, in any case, you will have me use that drop box programme :)

Ok, as you wish my friends. I will try it.Actually it can be better.Because the files will be in my computer and if somethings happens to provider server,I wont have problems. I will have all my informations :)

ok, I will follow you ;)

Thanks you so much.
