Capability Summary	Provides a File Upload entry inside the Survey flow of Smart Forms, where you can open the setting panel, adjust options, preview the result, and save the configuration.	Microsoft Forms lets authors add a file upload question and set file count limits, single-file size limits, required status, and allowed file types.	Google Forms supports file upload questions with file type, file count, and file size limits, and responders must sign in with a Google account.	Notion Forms lets users create and configure form questions connected to database properties, with form creation and customization handled on desktop and web apps.
