Viewing files from survey upload question

Uploaded files from respondents are available for the time the respondent exists in your survey. When the respondent is deleted manually or by data retention, the uploaded files are also deleted. You can download these files in a single ZIP file or you can download them one by one via the report with charts or the raw data in Excel.

Downloading all uploaded files at once

  1. Open your survey.
  1. Select Analyze from the survey options menu.
  1. Select Download results.
  1. Select Respondent uploads in the Type dropdown. Add a Date responded filter if you want. Then click Download.

The ZIP file will be generated, after which you can download it. Each Upload question is a separate folder in this ZIP file, containing all uploaded files for that question per respondent. The file name is the respondent ID, which you can see in the respondents overview or in the raw data download file.

Viewing respondent uploads via the respondent overview

In the respondent overview, you can add extra columns, including the columns for the upload questions.
