How can we have a google drive folder link used as an attachment to a Smartsheet form?

Stephanie Burdette

Hi all! We are implementing a new Smartsheet form and our offices submit this form and need to attach multiple files. Seems there is a limit to how many files can be attached to the form. We were thinking our offices can submit their files by sharing a link to the google drive files on the smarthseet form as an attachment instead of the actual documents themselves however, it wont' let us attach a link.

Is there another way our offices can attach a large number of files or access to a google drive file to our smartsheet form?

Hi @Stephanie Burdette

I hope you're well and safe!

Where are you trying to add the link? It should work, if I'm not mistaken, but I've only tested form links and similar.

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Best,

Thanks Andree. I believe they were trying to place the link in the attachment section of the form.

I'm having them place the link in a comments section that I have on the form and we are testing to see if it will work that way.

@Stephanie Burdette Are you saying that you have them paste the URL into a column you created in the sheet and then it copies over to attachments? Thank you!
