Answer 1

Post your id field with a hidden input, as :

@using (Html.BeginForm("GetFiles", "GetFile", FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))
{
    <input name ="id" type="hidden" value="1"/>
    <label for="file">Upload Image:</label>
    <input type="file" name="file" id="file"/>
    <input type="submit" value="Upload Image" />
}

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult GetFiles(int id, HttpPostedFileBase file)
    {
        // file stream logic
    }

Answer 2

I have an action method in this controller

If this is the only action method in your controller then you'll receive this error. Add a GET Action Method:

[HttpGet]
public ActionResult GetFiles()
{
    return View();
}
