File Upload Forms for Google Drive

Receive large files from clients, students or anyone in your Google Drive with File Upload Forms.

Your Forms can also include e-signatures, CAPTCHA, you can protect file upload forms with a password. The responses are saved in a Google Sheet. You can also send instant email notifications to the form respondent with a copy of the form response.

I realized after creating 3 forms.. and the third one refused to load properly.. I found in the comments that this form expires. I would have liked to know that before but I'm grateful I caught it before I encouraged my customers to use it. Thanks

I couldn't find script editor in Tools, but I did find Apps Script in the Extensions menu. It opens up Apps Script in Form Studio.

You are a great teacher... pacing, clarity, knowledge. Thank you so very much.

You are a life saver! Thank you very much! I had a few people complaining because they didn't have a google account to upload photos.

This form is glitchy. I removed the original questions. When I added 3 new questions, the script will work. When I start adding new questions without changing the text, the form will load. If I change the text in the question type, the form will not load and I get an error in the script message.

This is absolutely HUGE! I've never seen a web hack with more useful potential. Unfortunately google forms and sheets UI have changed slightly since this video was made but I was able to translate the changes and made it work, thank you thank you thank you!

I did not realize this costs money. I set everything up and had people using it. I went to change some stuff a week later and the form was gone with a message saying my trial was up. I didn’t even know I started a trial.
I wonder what the users must have thought seeing that message after I gave them the form link. Looks like I will just figure out how to code a form myself. Please be sure to make it clear that this is a trial product in your videos.

why is the form URL different that the URL in the script? I have tried it many times, restart my PC, run it with incognito mode, and it is still the same. I can't get other people to access the form, it always says 'unable to open file, address incorrect etc'. I have tried to re-deploy the script again, but it is the same. I watch the tutorial many times, repeating it step by step. What am I missing?

Amit the form link at the end keeps giving me an Error message, can you please help out. Thank you

Thank you so much for this very well thought out form and for a great tutorial. Seems like anytime I was wondering if your form could do a certain thing in the next moment you would explain just how to do it. Thanks for helping me use this to gather photos from parents and coaches to help our little league create our yearbook in a streamlined fashion!

This tool is too buggy to ask people to pay for the license. First make it work properly, then maybe

doest work "Sorry, unable to open the file at this time."

Thank you very much for your script! Excuse the question how could I put a text validation for email? And how can I correct the time zone? Thanks a Lot!!!

Any update for 2024? They changed the interface (specifically for enabling upload without sign-in)

[JimGarnerGroundScouts]

Is there a way to customise a logo at top or change the basic form backgrounds?
I also need to have internal users logged with their email without them having to manually enter them.
Also, for multi-file uploads, is there a way to show separate links in the sheet cell?
Lastly, can I prepopulate form fields from a column in another sheet?

Amit!
Great job on this!
Thank you.

Not sure if you're still checking this post, but I'm having trouble getting uploaded files to save anywhere. I tried saving it to the default folder, then tried directing it to a specific folder. Nothing happens. The files are nowhere to be found.

Also, every once in a while, after hitting submit, a blank browser page shows up but nothing happens--no confirmation, no error message. Then I have to refresh the browser and submit again. I only know to do this because I have access to the spreadsheet that tells me nothing came in. A normal user wouldn't know to do that and would assume it went through.

Any insights into either of my issues?

Thank you so much.

This is a trap. The form expired after a week and then you need to buy licenses

Thankyou Amit - this is a great online demo - you've made it very easy to understand even for someone like me who while not a luddite is not particularly technical. A question for you - is it possible to take a form that has already been created and copy. I have to do a number of very similar forms and it would be a great help not to have to redo the whole lot every time. Thanks Gill
