# Add File Upload Field

The File Upload field allows users to submit files directly through your form. You can easily add a** file upload** field to your contact form module using **Contact Form Extender for Divi **plugin.

## Why Use a File Upload Field?

A file upload field helps you collect files directly through your form, instead of collecting files separately by email.

For example, if you are running a job application form on your website, you can ask users to upload their resume, CV, or Portfolio while applying. This way, you don’t need to check emails for attachments because all applications and files are stored together in one place.

Follow these simple steps to add a File Upload field:
