Actually, it is YOU who can restrict this, at least by file extension. 
You can set the allowed filetypes in PARM - the moment something is 
specified there, the essay ("free form") problem allows for file 
upload. Note that plagiarism check only works with plain text.

In version 2.0, students can associate files from their portfolio with 
essay responses.
