Maybe programmatically?

回答1:

If you have Notes enabled on the entity, you can upload files via the notes component on the form.

To enable it, go to the entity customization and check the Notes box, and then add notes to your entity form. Now you can upload files on the entity form by adding a new note on the record, through the newly added Notes component.

An alternative is using something like SharePoint instead to host your files, and using the standard CRM/SharePoint integration to access them in CRM. That way you won't use up all your expensive CRM storage with files.

The standard option for doing a file upload is creating a note (entity annotation) which can have a file attached to it.

Alternatively you can create a custom HTML web resource handling the upload for you. This requires common HTML/Javascript techniques, as discussed elsewhere on StackOverflow.

From my experience, doing what Henk van Boeijen mentioned (custom HTML/Js) will be more appealing in terms of UI. You just need to enable notes, and after that, use REST endpoint. Example is here: http://scaleablesolutions.com/upload-notes-attachments-using-javascript-and-rest/
