Google Drive integration

Mirror the files people upload through your forms into a folder on your Google Drive.

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.

How to set it up

1

Connect the app with Google

Please follow this guide to complete this step.

2

Connect form data to Google Drive

1. Open the app > click Forms > open the form you want to edit

2. Click Integration icon on the left side bar > enable Google Drive > click on Google Drive option

  1. Create a new folder for your Google Drive > connect the form with the newly created folder

The new folder will be created in your connected Google Drive account and selected automatically as the destination folder.

  1. Click Save to apply the changes.

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

How it works

When a visitor submits your form:

  1. The form submission is recorded normally in the app.

  1. Files uploaded through eligible File Upload fields are automatically uploaded to the configured Google Drive folder.

⚠️ 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.
