Send file uploads to Google Drive

If you want to make sure that all the file attachments you collected with your forms are stored in a location conveniently accessible to you, then try out our Google Drive question.

This is what you’ll need:

- A paid Typeform account

- A Google account

Set up a new integration with Google Drive by adding a Google Drive question in the Create panel

Here’s how to add a Google Drive question to your form:

Note that by revoking permissions, all the questions connected to your Google Drive in this form will be disconnected. Click Continue if you’re sure this is what you want to do.

You can also just delete a question connected to your Google Drive to disconnect it, but keep in mind that if you’ve collected responses to that question already, those responses will be deleted too. This doesn’t impact the files uploaded to your Google Drive.
