How to access the uploaded documents from kobo?

sdanaoude · February 22, 2021, 2:45pm

I just finished a survey using kobo. In the form there is a question asking respondents to upload documents. How can I access these documents now that the data collection is complete?

Here you will need to change your username with your actual username that you use for your user account.
