I've done this by creating below post controller for the custom form to send data with attachment in Magento 2.
<?php
namespace Vendor\Module\Controller\Index;
use Magento\Framework\App\Filesystem\DirectoryList;
use Magento\Backend\App\Action;
use Magento\Framework\Filesystem;
class Post extends \Magento\Framework\App\Action\Action {
const XML_PATH_EMAIL_RECIPIENT = 'rga/email/recipient_email';
const XML_PATH_EMAIL_SENDER = 'rga/email/sender_email_identity';
const XML_PATH_EMAIL_TEMPLATE = 'rga/email/email_template';
/**

protected $_transportBuilder;
/**

*/
protected $inlineTranslation;
/**

*/
protected $scopeConfig;
/**

*/
protected $storeManager;
/**

protected $_escaper;
/**

*/
protected $uploaderFactory;
