upload mp3, aiff and.wav

hi, cant understand why squarespace does not have the -upload files- function within its Contact Form templates. I need a free and fast solution ? Any ideas?

Only .mp3 and .m4a files are supported. For best performance across all browsers and devices, we recommend compressing your audio files using these specifications:

• Format: .mp3 or .m4a
• Bit Depth: 16bit
• Bitrate: 128 kbps max (96 kbps recommended for spoken word)
• Channels: Mono or Stereo
• File Size: An uploaded file must be 160 MB or smaller. To use a larger file, link to an external host.
• You can convert aiff to mp3 here: https://cloudconvert.com/aiff-to-mp3

Derrick, SquareSpace tells me they do not have the upload function in their Forms... Really unusual.... Seems so counter productive compared to other CMS platforms. Do you see it somewhere?

I need wav, mp3 and aiff. I get some 300 submissions of 20Mo or less audiofiles.

I missed that part of your original post. You want to put the upload function in a form. Can you explain the process you would like exactly? There may be a plugin or some other workaround for this. 

i am building my website. goes online this weekend. I have the integrated contact form that the basic squarespace offers, but i cannot have a button and upload fonction?

my contact need to submit audio through the contact form.

You should check https://www.squarewebsites.org/blog/squarespace-websites-uploader😉

Yes, but using the Code Injection means you have to subscribe to the better and more expensive plan of course! So it is not free. The only thing i found was a basic JotForm but then again, CANT integrate in in my website, opens another page....

This is not a problem with Worpress...

There is another way but is not "elegant looking". It works using a Dropbox feature and it integrate directly on the form. Check this link: https://randomwhimsy.com/blog/using-squarespace-forms-with-dropbox-to-receive-uploaded-files

I hope this help

Ah oui, useful but yes, not elegant and time consuming at my end with some 300 files... But i'll keep it in mind. So far, Jotform wins Square is far behind on this specific question. But really great to build a website although more expensive.

We all know this problem. It is a big issue for a lot users but Squarespace have this feature in their development for sure. There is another way not free but not very expensive, a 4.99$ month cost, that can help you but nothing is complete free for now: https://driveuploader.com/

Hi there! I am looking for a way to integrate video upload from a contact form, or in general. I signed up for transloadit.com but am not sure how to integrate onto Squarespace. Do you know how?
