    Hi there,


    Just wondering is it possible to set a condition in Gdrive integration so it will append a field name to the folder once a certain condition is met?

    What I am after is that when a get url field contains EDIT it will append the time field on the gdrive folder

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to append any folders to Google Drive integration using conditions. The folder in the Google drive shall be created only when integrating to the form.

    Hope this information helps!

    OK... not so helpful... which leads me to my next question...

    Is it possible to have this scenario:

    - I add the get URL widget (HIDDEN)

    - I attach files on form

    - I go the edit form url

    - When the form is up for editing the attach file buttons are emptied out (removed) with a condition when show URL contains EDIT. I was also hoping I can attach a new set of files at this point (if the user wants to).

    Basically what I am trying to achieve is not to keep on sending the same files that was attached the first time on the form... but because the attachment is still on the attach files buttons they keep on sending on the gdrive folder... It floods the folder which unnecessary.

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to remove the files from the upload field when the submission is being edited or with conditions. It is required to remove the uploaded files from the field manually. Please note that when the edit submission link is used and if the files removed from the upload field, the files from the actual submission will also be removed.

    Also, the Google Drive integration can only receive the submissions and the files uploaded to the integrated folder. So, each time a new submission is received or edited, it creates a new PDF file with the updated information. Additionally, the files in the Google Drive are accessed by using their unique file/folder IDs.


    Thanks!

    At this moment, I could only think of customizing the form using the source code of the form and make necessary modifications so that you may host the form in your web hosting server. You may consider getting the full source code of the form and make modification to host it on your server. If you are not comfortable with programming, you may hire a programmer from Upwork or Freelancer to achieve your requirement.

    Thanks!
