How it works

Google Drive cloud connection in EZ File Drop

Connect your Google Drive

You connect your account once, through Google's own secure sign-in (OAuth2). EZ File Drop never sees or stores your password, and you can disconnect any time.

Files arrive organized in your folder

Every submission is delivered to the Google Drive folder you chose, automatically sorted into subfolders by submitter, project, or any form field.

Already collecting files with Google Forms?

EZ File Drop and Google Forms both put your files in the same place: your own Google Drive. What differs is what the person sending them has to do first.

Google Forms is the usual first stop, and for colleagues inside your own organization it works fine. The trouble starts the moment you add a File Upload question. From that point Google requires every respondent to sign in to a Google account before they can upload, and there is no setting that turns it off. Making the form public doesn't change it. A form with an upload question can't be embedded on your website either. If you're collecting from clients, applicants, or the public, the sign-in wall is where submissions quietly go missing.

  EZ File Drop Google Forms file upload
What the uploader needs Just your link A Google account, every time
Embed the form on your site Yes Not possible with uploads
Whose brand is on the page Yours Google's
Where the files are delivered Any Drive folder you pick A file responses folder
How the files are organized Subfolders from form answers One folder
Control over file names Prefixes or full renaming None
More than one Drive account Yes Owner's Drive only

Whether you collect with Google Forms or with EZ File Drop, the files end up in your Google Drive. The difference is everything that happens first: EZ File Drop gives you a branded form anyone can open without signing in, collects the details you need alongside the files, and sorts and names everything the way you work before it reaches your Drive.

FAQ

Do the people uploading need a Google account?

No, and they don't need an EZ File Drop account either. Anyone with your form link can open it and upload without signing in to anything. The Google connection is yours alone, and the people uploading never touch it.

Where do my files end up?

In the exact Google Drive folder you chose when you set up the form, and every submission to that form is delivered to that same folder.

That is the starting point rather than the whole story. On the Business and Premium plans, dynamic file organization builds subfolders out of your form responses, so uploads sort themselves into a folder per client, per project, per date, as many layers deep as you need. When a folder already exists, new uploads go into it rather than creating a duplicate. Files can also be renamed on the way in using that same form data, so they arrive named the way you file things instead of as Scan_039.pdf. See Set up dynamic file organization.

Does this work with My Drive and Shared Drives?

Yes, both. You can point a form at a folder in your personal My Drive or at a folder in a Shared Drive your team manages, including Drives inside a Google Workspace organization account. Each form picks its own destination, so one form can deliver into a Shared Drive the whole team sees while another goes somewhere only you can reach. See Connect Google Drive.

Can I send files to more than one Google Drive account?

Yes, on every plan. You can connect as many Google Drive accounts as you want to a single EZ File Drop login and point each form at whichever one it belongs to. Useful if you keep client work in one Drive and internal work in another. See Connect multiple cloud accounts.

Will uploaders be able to see other people's files?

No. Someone filling out your form sees only their own upload. There is no file list, nothing to browse, and no way for one person to open, download, or delete what anyone else sent. Submissions are visible to you and to the teammates you have given access to that form, and nobody else.

How do I see and manage what people send?

Every form has a submission inbox in your EZ File Drop dashboard, on every plan. You can browse all the submissions to a form, read the form responses attached to each one, and search by person or file name without digging through the Drive folder. See View and manage submissions.

Can form responses go into a Google Sheet?

Yes, on the Business and Premium plans, and you set it up per form. As long as you have a Google account connected, you'll find a Save form data to a Google Sheet toggle on the form's setup page, and you can either create a new Sheet there or pick an existing one. It doesn't depend on where the form's files are going, so a form delivering into Dropbox can still write its responses to a Sheet. See Send form data to a Google Sheet.

Does this count against my Google Drive storage?

Yes. Your files are delivered into your Drive and live there, so they use your Google Drive storage the same way any file you added yourself would. That's the point of working this way: the files are yours, in an account you control, and they stay there whatever happens to your EZ File Drop subscription.

Is the connection to Google Drive secure?

Yes. EZ File Drop connects through Google's own sign-in using OAuth2, so we never see or store your Google password, and you can revoke access at any time from your Google account. Files move over TLS-encrypted connections the whole way.

Google's permission screen asks you to allow EZ File Drop to see, edit, create, and delete Drive files, which reads broader than what actually happens. The permission has to cover that range because you can point a form at any folder you own. What EZ File Drop does with it is write the files people send through your forms, create subfolders when a form organizes them, and write a Sheet if you've turned that on. It doesn't read or browse the files you already keep in Drive. See Connect Google Drive and the security page.

What happens if a file doesn't make it to my Drive?

EZ File Drop retries automatically, several times with a growing gap between attempts, which clears most failures without you doing anything. Two situations retries can't fix are a disconnected account that needs reauthorizing and a destination folder that's been moved, renamed, or deleted. Failed files stay in staging so you can retry the delivery from your dashboard. See Fix upload errors.

Which plans can connect Google Drive?

Every plan, including Starter, connects all six cloud destinations, Google Drive included. The features built on top of it are split by plan: dynamic file organization, your own colors, fonts, and logo, and white-labeled forms are on Business and Premium. Full breakdown on the pricing page.
