    FWIW - I endorse this request to use already existing folders in Google Drive's integration.  Pretty please?  :)

    I have forwarded this thread to our developers as a feature request, and we will certainly let you know here when or if this feature is implemented.

    Thank you.

    Hi MORWA,

    For using already existing folders in Google, we need to have fully authentication on your Drive.

    In order to make sure your files are safe, when we are integrating with Google, we are asking our users to give us permission to create a new folder and its permission. Otherwise, you can lose your files or folders by mistakenly rewritten.

     

    Hope this clears your question.

    Thank you.

    Hi -

     

    I support this feature request as well.  I'd really like to keep my form submissions and the related Google spreadsheet in the save folder.

     

    Thanks!

    Actually, you can use the existing folder from your previous Google Drive integration, if you set the folder name same with the one in the Drive. Please, see it from the below:

    Please, try this one to store your new submissions into existing Drive folder. For further assistance, we are always here to help you.

     

    Thanks.

    Hi -

     

    I tried this on the Google Spreadsheet side, but I ended up with two folders on Google drive with the same name.

    Am I missing something?

    According to my researches, this issue is completely related with the Google Drive's behaviors. On my try, it didn't create a second folder; but on yours, it created another folder. Also, I asked this issue to our Integration team and they confirmed that there are some restrictions about this issue on Google Drive side. Because of this, they can't add any improvement on this integration.

    However, its behavior can change time to time like we have experienced. You can remove the current integration and try to recreate integration.

     

    Thanks.
