I would like to allow users to upload attachments to their forms, for example, fill out their online application and attach a resume. Is there a way to enable forms attachments?

Are you using web forms or are you using a custom content type? If the former, the Webform edit page allows you to add fields. Under "type," there is a dropdown menu that allows you to select "file."

If you're working with custom content types, go to structure>content type>[custom content type name]>manage fields and scroll to the bottom of that page. It will allow you to add a new field, give it a name, and under the "type" drop-down menu, select File, then click save. The next few pages will give you the ability to restrict what files can be uploaded by extension and size.
