Description
The Google Drive add-on automatically sends files attached to WPForms forms directly to a folder in your Google Drive account, eliminating the need to store these uploads within WordPress. After connecting the Google account in the WPForms settings, each submission with an upload field transfers documents to Drive and keeps the access link associated with the form entry in the dashboard.
Key Features
- Direct upload to Google Drive
Sends files attached to WPForms upload fields directly to the connected account. - OAuth connection with the Google account
Authenticates the site with the Google account through the official OAuth flow, without exposing credentials. - Organization by destination folder
Lets you define the Drive folder where uploads from each form will be stored. - File linked to the form entry
Records the Drive file link within the corresponding entry in the WPForms dashboard. - Support for multiple file types
Accepts documents, images, PDFs, and other formats compatible with Google Drive.
Google Drive Benefits
- Lighter and more stable server
Moves large attachments off WordPress hosting and frees up server disk space. - Centralized file access
Brings together all submissions with uploads in a single Drive folder structure. - Team collaboration
Lets you share received folders and files with colleagues directly through Google features. - Automatic cloud backup
Ensures that every file submitted through the form is replicated outside the site server.
Who Is It For?
- Businesses that receive resumes, proposals, and documents through forms and need to archive everything in the cloud.
- Agencies and teams that already use Google Workspace and want to unify the flow of received files.
- Sites with limited disk-space hosting that rely on frequent form uploads.
Recommended for those who work with application forms, briefs, tax document submissions, or any workflow where the attachment is more important than the submission text. By moving storage to Google Drive, the add-on reduces hosting costs, shortens WordPress backup time, and keeps files accessible through the same Google account the team already uses every day.
