    I am looking for the same as those in the above thread, to be able to select a specific folder that form submissions go to.

    Unfortunately, we do not have any updates regarding the thread.

    We can however, forward a feature request to our developers to let them know that users are are requesting such feature.

    Before forwarding the feature request,can you please explain further how you want the Google Drive folder to work?

    Currently, you can change the name of your Main Folder and then select the sub-folder name from the fields in your form.

    We will wait for your response.

    I want to be able to select a folder that is at least one level in, potentially a few levels in. We have several different programs that we work with in our organization and want to organize by program. Each program folder will eventually be shared with program partners, but we only want them to see their specific program's folder. We will have different forms for each Program that ideally would go directly into the program's corresponding folder. For instance, a structure similar to the following:

    Each bullet represents another folder level. The highlighted folders would be the ones we would want to select for the corresponding forms. The "Last Name, First Name" level is also a folder and inside would be the form submission as well as file uploads.

     

    I hope that makes sense. We are thinking of ways to utilize the google drive integration as it is currently, but it just means more work for us with having to move files manually into their appropriate shared program folders.

     

    It certainly seems like there were several other requests for this feature.

    Thank you for explaining your requirement in detail. Unfortunately it is currently not possible to select any existing subfolder of google drive to send submission data. 

    If you want we can create a feature request ticket and forward it to our backend team but we cannot provide any ETA on the solution.

    Sure, I am creating a feature request ticket to our backend team. Please note that creating a feature request ticket does not ensure that feature will be implemented. It completely depends upon the feasibility and priority of our backend team. We will get back to you as soon as we have any update on this.
