Is there a way to upload more files in the Forms option of Teams Group Chats?

Hi Kyle,

Good day. Thank you for the clear explanation of your situation. 

I understand that you are trying to use Microsoft Forms in Teams to upload photos, add categories to those photos, and then allow the team to easily review and sort them directly within Teams without needing to rely on a separate Excel file. 

At this time, the Forms experience inside a Teams group chat may be more limited than the full Microsoft Forms experience, which is why you may only be seeing the option to upload one file at a time there. 

In the full Microsoft Forms experience, file upload questions can allow multiple files depending on the question settings. However, Forms does not currently provide a built-in option to send uploaded files directly into a specific Teams folder. Uploaded files are stored in OneDrive or SharePoint, depending on whether the form is an individual form or a group form. 

• For your scenario, a possible workaround would be to create the form as a Group Form so the uploaded files are tied to the group’s SharePoint location. You could also use Power Automate to copy or move the uploaded photos into the desired Teams or SharePoint folder.  
• If the main goal is to review, filter, and organize photos directly in Teams, using a SharePoint document library with metadata columns such as Category, Project, or Location may provide a better experience.
