Let’s say you liked a form on a specific web page or you want to move your old form to Jotform. Cloning a form from a web page saves time in such instances, and Jotform makes it very easy.
Notes
- Jotform provides privacy settings for form owners to prevent the cloning of their forms. If you’re cloning a Jotform form where these are enabled, you won’t be able to clone it.
- Cloning creates a new form within your account and will count towards your Form Limit.
Cloning a Form from a Web Page
The process yields the best results if you’re cloning Jotform forms whether embedded on a web page or not. For non-Jotform forms, the system will try its best to recreate the form. You can then customize the form from there.
To get started:
- Go to My Forms and click Create Form.
- Next, select Import Form.
- Afterward, choose From a web page.
- Provide the URL in the Enter URL field.
- Finally, click Create Form.

Can I clone a form from another jotform account?
Please help meake a copy of this page is a one page website thanks
Thank you. I have gotten my form to work. :) I appreciate the help.
This worked for one of my forms. When I tried it with another, I got:
Form ID is missing or irregular.
How can I fix this? The existing form with the above problem is:
The support for this site is EXCELLENT!
I am trying to clone a form using the URL and keep getting a message: Unauthorized request. You do not have access to this form
It says
Form not found: Form Id is missing or irregular
No form found on the page. Please check the source code you provided"
This is very frustrating.
same issue here:
"No form found on the page. Please check the source code you provided"

I entered a url from local machine and didn't work.
"No form found on the page. Please check the source code you provided"
I tried this to copy a form via URL from this account to our main, got a username/password form and now our main account (with all our job apps) is suspended. Suffice to say now we have access to none of our forms to even try and get back-ups on our site.
Please update this information explaining how the URL clone works, because following directions only to find yourself suspended (as a few have been) is saddening, especially when you've done nothing wrong.
When I do this, I get a login form, not the one I wanted to clone.
didnt work
thank you
Doesn't work. I copy and pasted the URL and got a completely different form!
https://www.jotform.com/?formID=30455495811153
I put the url in and it just lists all the response fields, not the form as it appears - here is the link. I cannot get it to clone properly.
I entered the URL and get the message that No Form is found on the page. I tried leaving out the EU part as I did do a clone last year before you had GoDaddy trouble.
Here's the URL

This is a great feature folk. One comment is that configuring it (manage integration) is quite too well hidden!
I've attempted to import a form from a different account using the import form feature. The imported form loses some of the header fields as well as the condition information.
Is there any method to perform an exact copy of the Jotform without losing any elements of the form?
Also, I am using the embed code for the import form entry field. Is that the correct url I should be entering?
Thanks in advance!
Is it possible to make frop box folder name related to 2 fields ex: Unique Id + Name (1234566-MrFirstName)? that would give sense to the folder and keep it unique?
I am trying to import a PDF from a URL that I provide but it comes back with the following message:
"No form found on the page. Please check the source code you provided"
nao consigo clonar
If you have multiple forms that you want from one user, can you send those forms to a single directory or will each form create its own directory on DB?
What if the form is a multi part application form? Can you still clone it some how? When I try this method it only copies the actual URL of the form start page and not the rest of the form.
I was read a review about Jotform on Makeuseof.com and in that article, they(Makeuseof) told me, i can use Jotform to send any file to another Dropbox user who does not have Public Folder with you. But i tried and fail, Jotform just let you send a file to your Dropbox account and if someone want to see this file, they must have a Public Folder with you. :|.
I am trying to submit my form to Dropbox, but the link doesn't work for me. I tried the sample Dropbox form and it won't send either. Is there a problem with Jotform?
Any plans on adding SugarSync integration?

hi!
whts the total upload limit for free account when integrated with dropbox ?
thx
The best "create form site" i've seen !
Awesome! Good work guys.
Thank you
The limits in your jotform apply. You can delete the form submissions in your account to create more space.
Is there a file size limit for uploading files from Jotform to Dropbox?
Yes they are counted in your submission quota.
Does forms created with https://www.jotform.com/dropbox/ count towards monthly submission quota? or its free to create just a "Dropbox Upload Only Form"? Free submission I mean.
@ronaldcduke On the "Submissions" page, click the little icon below the "Delete" button that looks like a gear in the top right of the page. In the menu that appears, click "Send Uploads/Submissions to DropBox".
Please see (copy to your browser's address bar)
I click on a form I've already created, click on "submissions" but see no 'preferences' to click on. What am I missing?
I found out that it does automatically.. Great job!
how do you or can you upload a file or series of files and have it automatically send to Dropbox?
Great design
aandptranscript: Emailed to you yesterday to get more details on your browser.
kevinreynolds: On your Submissions page for that form, click on the Preferences icon on the right side and click on the Dropbox integration. It will open a wizard. You can change the field to use Submission ID on folder names. Submission ID is always a unique number.
Amazing Job
This is great - however - when saving the folder name from a field, when one or more submissions are sent - it will write over the previous dropbox document in that folder.
I set up an expenses form, and wanted a folder by persons name - all ok so far and works fine, yet it will over write any previous sends of that for with the same name.
Perhap - naming the file with a date/time field would resolve this.
Otherwise - FANTASTIC POTENTIAL

WOW!!!!!!! Great job! I just signed up because it's a great work! I'm impressed with your design too... Congrats for you for the great job. :)
I am trying to integrate my existing form with DropBox and I cannot click on the preferences under submissions, it states that there is an error on the page. Can you please help me? Thanks, aandptranscript
tony: Yes, since uploaded files will also be stored on Jotform, it will count against your limit. However, you can delete the submissions on Jotform site and you will still have files those files on your Dropbox and you will gain the space back from your Jotform uploads limit.
Does uploading to drop box count against the jotform upload limits?
I'd like to be able to move the folder where it copies the forms so it's not in top-level of my dropbox hierarchy.
This was very easy to setup and works right out of the box no pun intended.
The easiest way is to just click on submissions and setup the integration.
The upload form that you can generate with multiple file uploads is very handy also!
Awesome! Good work guys.
Herzlichen Dank für das tolle Anmeldeformular für unsere
