Send file uploads to Google Drive V2

If you want to make sure that all the file attachments you collected with your typeforms 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

Warning! Typeform’s Google Drive V1 integration was phased out on June 16th, 2023. If you’ve set up the Google Drive integration in the Connect panel already, you’ll have to reconnect each File Upload question in each of your integrated typeforms in the Create panel. The files uploaded to your typeforms through the File Upload question will always be available for download in the Results panel of your typeform.

You can scroll down to or jump to one of the following sections in this article:

- Reconnect your File Upload questions to Google Drive if you’ve set up the integration in the Connect panel already

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

Note! The Google Drive question supports all file types, with a maximum file size of 10MB.

Reconnect your File Upload questions to Google Drive if you’ve set up the integration in the Connect panel already

To reconnect your File Upload questions to Google Drive:

1. Go to the list view in your workspace and look for the Google Drive icon in the Integrations column to see which of your typeforms are connected to Google Drive already.

2. Open up a typeform that already has the Google Drive integration set up and select a File Upload question you want to reconnect to Google Drive.

Note that by revoking permissions, all the questions connected to your Google Drive in this typeform 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.

You’re all set up! All files uploaded to your typeform will be sent to the Google Drive folders you’ve just selected.
