Overview
Microsoft Forms can have an attachment field for users to upload files to. By default only the creator of the form has access to user submitted attachments. Collaborators can see the survey results, but will not have permission to access the file until the creator of the form grants it.
Attachments added to a form are uploaded to the Form Creator's OneDrive. The creator will need to change the sharing permission on the folder to grant other users access to the files.
