# Google Drive Integration

The app allows you to automatically upload files submitted through your forms directly to a Google Drive folder. This is especially useful for forms that include file upload fields, helping you keep all submitted files organized and accessible in one place.

> **Note:** Only files from File Upload fields configured with **"Also upload to third-party storage" → "Google Drive"** will be uploaded to Google Drive.

### 📝 Steps 1: Connect the app with Google <a href="#steps-1-connect-the-app-with-google" id="steps-1-connect-the-app-with-google"></a>

Please follow this [guide](https://docs.powerfulform.com/app-integration/google-integration) to complete this step.

### 📝  Step 3: Configure File Access Policy (Required)

To upload files to Google Drive, you must configure your File Upload field correctly.

1. Open the File field
2. Under **Access policy**, choose:
   * **Public** – Anyone with the file link can access the file.
   * **Private** – The file can only be accessed through the app admin and authorized integrations.
3. Under **Also upload to third-party storage**, select **Google Drive**
4. Save the form

> ⚠️ **Important**:   If a submission is deleted from the app, any files associated with that submission that were uploaded through the Google Drive integration will also be deleted from Google Drive.

### ❓ FAQ

#### Can I upload files from multiple File Upload fields?

Yes. Any File Upload field configured to use **Google Drive** storage will upload its submitted files to the selected Google Drive folder.

#### Can I use different folders for different forms?

Yes. Each form can have its own Google Drive integration settings and destination folder.

#### Will existing submissions be uploaded automatically?

No. Only new submissions received after the integration is enabled will be uploaded to Google Drive.

#### What happens if I change the destination folder?

New uploaded files will be stored in the newly selected folder. Previously uploaded files will remain in their original location.
