How to Download the Submission Files

December 7, 2023

The Jotform Form Builder allows you to create a file upload form. The files are sent through email as a link or attachment when configured. You can also download the files at once or download a specific set of files when needed.

Below are ways to download uploaded files from your form:

Download All Uploaded Files

  1. On the My Forms page, select the form.
  2. Click the Submissions button in the top toolbar.
