Hi - Thanks for posting the reply from MS.

qRules has a command that can write attachments from the form to a different library - even repeating attachments - and it will write a link to the attachment back to the form so form users can find / open the attachment. You can find a free trial here.

Well had a reply from MS below I know you would like to increase the InfoPath Attachments limitation in Office 365 SharePoint Online. Based on current situation, for SharePoint online users, the InfoPath Attachments limitation is a parameter determined by design. So it cannot be customized by users. However, as to the limitation you concerned here, to make it better meet your requirements, I sincerely invite you to submit your feedback for the further improving of our products. Many features of current programs were designed and upgraded based on customers’ feedback. If the service is requested frequently, the product team may include it in future product releases. Thanks for your understanding. Feedback links at: g.microsoftonline.com/.../135 So that's it then you cant attach more than 5MB to a Office365 InfoPath form, How bad is that! Geoff

Office365 Infopath file attachment size limit 5MB.

Hello, we have just been infomed by Microsoft that the file attachment limit for our Office365 Infopath form library is 5MB per form.

We have multiple views on the same form with multiple file attachment controls so this has put a spanner in the works.

MS said they couldn't increase it as this would increase for the whole 365 enviroment which I find unbelievable.

So my question is has anyone managed to strip the file from the form and put it in a different library on submit.

Or are there any other alternatives?

Regards

Geoff
