Click Add Question.
Enter a Unique ID for the file upload field.
From the Type drop-down list, select File Upload.

If you want to require users to upload a file as a part of their form submission, select the Required checkbox.
The Hide On Load setting can be used to hide a question on the form until another action takes place.
Caution
This setting will soon be discontinued. To show/hide a question, use the Rules tab.
In the File Name Format field, define a name format for the file to be renamed when it is uploaded.
Note
If you do not enter anything here, the user's original file name is used.
Tip
You can use @@string replacers or {} questions tags here. For example, entering {usf_LastName}_Essay would rename the uploaded file to 'Simpson_Essay.docx'.
In the Allowed Extensions field, enter a comma separated list of permitted file extensions the form user can upload (e.g., .docx, .pdf, .txt).
In the Help Info Text field, enter additional information or brief instructions for form users.
Note
Help information is shown next to a help icon that shows your text when the user hovers over or clicks on it.

Because downloads don't give form users different choices, this field is always *.
In the third drop-down, select the action you want to happen.
Select one of the following conditions from the drop-down list:
Else if answer value is tells FormFlow to execute the action if the answer value matches the new answer value you specify when the "If" condition fails.
Else will tell FormFlow to execute the action if no previous conditions were met.
And will tell FormFlow to execute the action in addition to any other action that is set to execute in the previous rule condition.
Repeat steps 7 - 10 to add additional actions and conditions.
