I am trying to add a column for adding files via the file uploader component but I do not see “file” as an option when setting up the column. I selected “multiple files” option but that is not a choice when setting the target column.

It’s just a string anyway, so if you don’t need multiple images or multiple files (which are special columns on their own that can hold an array), you can just use text or URL.
