Google Form Uploads as Attachments

McKnight-MaryKate

Is there any way for uploaded files on a Google form to be attached to the Smartsheet as regular attachments rather than in a column on the sheet with links to the Google Drive?

Hi MaryKate,

The ability to upload attachments from Google forms to a sheet is not currently available, however if you are shared to the sheet you can manually attach files. For more information on attaching files, check out our Help Center article: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/504760-downloading-viewing-attachments

When you have a moment, please submit a product enhancement request to let our Product team know that you'd like the ability to attach files uploaded via a Google form to a sheet. The product enhancement request form is located in the Quick Links section to the right of this discussion or you can go here: https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/739aa75f30ca43a8a22eb53e4da7d409

Thanks!

Hi,

Is there an update on this issue? Can we upload attachments from google forms?

Thanks!

Hi @Mrinalini Gunda

The Smartsheet Sync Add-on doesn’t currently support the File Upload field in Google Forms. (You can read about this in our Help Center, here).

As an alternative, you could use a text field in which people can paste the sharing link to a file stored in a cloud storage location, such as Google Drive.

Cheers!

Hi @Genevieve P. - is there any update on this? I'm hoping to have a Google Form submission include a spreadsheet and have the form responses and spreadsheet automatically uploaded to a Smartsheet.

Hi @mmurdoch

You could add a Text Field in the Google Form to include the URL to the Google Sheet if that helps!
