Google Drive is a great way to share your files among different computers and mobile devices. Integrating your form with your Google Drive takes less than a minute. Once you complete the integration, a copy of the data and uploaded files will instantly go to your Google Drive when someone submits an entry to your form.
Enabling the Google Drive Integration on Your Form
- Go to the Settings tab in the Form Builder.
- Click Integrations on the left.
- Search for “Google Drive”.
- Select Google Drive.
- Click the Authenticate button.
- Sign in to your Google account and complete the authentication process.
- In the next step, you can customize your folder names. Click Form Fields to select the fields as your custom folder name or input your own custom folder name.
- Finally, click the Complete Integration button to complete the setup.
That’s it, your integration is all set. You will see the link to the Google Drive folder to where the submissions and files will be uploaded.
You can now start getting files in your Google Drive. Each entry will have its own folder with the submission data in PDF as well as the files uploaded by the form filler.

I create 2 separate PDFs from my Patient Intake Form for each submission - 1 for Medical History and 1 for Demographics. Is there a way to send both to Google Drive? Currently only sends one PDF to google drive.
I am using the form to collect receipts, and for each submission there is the image/pdf of the receipt and also a pdf of the submission called {uploadReceipts}.pdf; is there a way to just have the receipt without the extra submission pdf?
Is there a way to get multiple form submissions in the same folder.
the document in the forms are coming correctly but the name of documents are irregular or user defined. Means when a user uploads a file suppose in a xyz field the name of the file which is uploaded should be xyz but the name is random. Can anything be done regarding this.
Can you send the data in a .csv file instead?
I am currently using Square to take appointments and payments. I am looking for a way to upload consents for clients to fill out when they make an appointment or when the come to the office to check in. This would be for a medspa. This kind of stuff is not in my skill set. In fact, I am terrible at it, and I don't want to lose appointments if I do intergrate with Jotform. Thank you in advance.

how to link an existing folder in the google drive to save the document in that particular folder, instead of Jotform creating a separate folder for each submissions>>
I want to send 20 or more people each their own form, populated from a unique Google Sheet with data specifically for each one, and then have them submit the for with a few fields such as the date and possibly a pic of when they tended to the item on the list.
Very helpful and useful! Question, we use approvals for most of our forms. Is it possible to have the form copied to Gdrive after approval, not before? And if it is denied, to not be copied over? thx!
+1 to Kristen's question: "the pdfs of the forms have the same name -- the name of the folder plus .pdf. Is there any way to edit the name of the pdf that each form creates in the folder?"
It's odd (and inconvenient) that the file name has to be the same as the folder name.
Thanks!
I have 3 forms pointing to the same google folder (applicants are submitting 3 forms, and I have them all sent to one Google Drive folder to keep their materials together). This is working spectacularly well. BUT all the pdfs of the 3 forms have the same name -- the name of the folder plus .pdf. Is there any way to edit the name of the pdf that each form creates in the folder?
How can I make this integration work with submisisons that happened beforte I made the integration?
How do I choose a Shared Google Drive as my root folder?
my issue is that by default the root folder is created under My Drive. and then if i move it to a shared folder, it breaks the link even if the permissions are ok, can you help? is there an order of doing this?
How do I edit the fields that show up in this pdf?
I was hoping there was a syntax to allow nested folders on google drive. For example:
{expense-class}/{custom-id}
i made a custom PDF within jotform where my response data is displayed in a nice looking format.
my question is: whenever there is a new submission, am i able to download that completed, custom PDF to google drive?
I am just wondering whether there is a way to not have a folder within a folder created. So I want the folder that is created with the same name as the jotform but I don't want a seperate folder for each submission. Is that possible to change?
Hello,
Is there a way to automatically add previous submissions to google drive after integration? Right now I'm just manually downloading the submissions and uploading to google drive but would be great if they could add themselves.
in 2021 the files were importing correctly but in 2022 they are not. What could be happening?
How do I choose a different folder other than the root "My Drive" folder for the submissions to go to? I understand that there can be a sub-folder, but how do you choose a different path for the primary folder?
Not working for me.. it is showing the name of the file but it is empty
Is it possible to name the google drive folders for each form submission "last name, first name when a "full name" field is used on the form?
This is great. It worked wonderfully.
question:
Can I edit the folder that Jotform created by creating a Jotform folder. Then putting the folders that Jot form created underneath the Jotform folder? I can do that. I just didn't know if it would mess up where the information was sent with the integration.
Not working for me.
The moment I click on Integrate, I get logged out and I have to start over again. And this becomes an endless repeatcycle for me with the endresult that this doesn't work for me.
The PDF that uploads is missing data. How do we ensure it is the version we can modify/ edit in the PDF editor that gets uploaded to Google Drive? Do we have to re-integrate with G Drive if we modify the PDF?
Is there an upload size limit?
can I have the integration without subfolders?
just main folder and list of submission PDFs, I have no attached files in the submissons
I am doing a survey for the "Best of" in a town. How do I get the submissions to populate the correct Google Sheet category?
How can I prevent GDRIVE to upload a PDF or attachement as a file with the same name into to GDRIVE folder.
Instead having it to ovewrite or put a version number would be helpful.
Imaging a submitter post and then update & post again, which leads to the same files on GDrive, but it is hard to know, which was the last updated file
not working for me
Me queda claro que se puede automatizar el nombre de la carpeta dependiendo de la respuesta en alguno de los campos, pero ¿Se puede automatizar el nombre del documento en PDF?
OMG, I LOVE THIS!
Thanks!
